Miyetti Allah Accuses Gov Sule Of Militia Group.

President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has alleged that the Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, was behind the establishment of the ethnic militia group, Kungiya Zaman Lafiya.

Bodejo, who is facing terrorism charges, accused the governor of pressurizing him to form the militia group.

The Miyetti Allah leader was arrested by operatives of the Defence Intelligence Agency on January 23, 2024, at the group’s office in the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State for allegedly unveiling a militia group and has been in custody and was arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on three counts of terrorism on March 22, 2024.

Bodejo was specifically accused of establishing the Kungiya Zaman Lafiya ethnic militia in Nasarawa State without authorization and the offence is punishable under Section 29 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.

He also alleged that the Nasarawa State governor was behind the formation of the militia group after he received a call from the governor earlier in the year expressing his desire to establish a vigilante group different from those of his counterparts, adding that he met with Akajo and Governor Sule at the Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
