The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Sociocultural Association in the North-Central geopolitical zone has appealed to President Bola Tinubu and other authorities to intervene in the continued detention of its national leader, Abdullahi Bello Bodejo.
The group also called on the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi; the All Progressives Congress leadership; and relevant security agencies to assist in securing Bodejo’s release.
The North-Central Chairman of the association, Idris Bebeji, made the appeal at a press conference in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State on Wednesday.
Bebeji said Bodejo, a prominent advocate for the Fulani pastoralist community, had contributed to peaceful coexistence, national unity and the welfare of pastoralist communities.
He said the continued detention of the association’s leader had raised concerns among his family, associates, supporters and members of the wider pastoralist community.
Bebeji said the association recognised the constitutional responsibilities of security and law enforcement agencies and was not seeking to obstruct any lawful investigation.
He said, “Our appeal is simply that the matter be handled fairly, expeditiously and strictly in accordance with the Constitution and all applicable laws.
