President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has alleged that the Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, begged him to establishment the ethnic militia group.
Bodejo, who is facing terrorism charges, accused the governor of pressurising 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 since then.
The Miyetti Allah leader has since been arraigned before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on three counts of terrorism on March 22, 2024.
The offence was said to be punishable under Section 29 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
