Sources indicate that DSS agents, accompanied by Nigerian Army personnel, conducted the operation at the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office, close to Goshen Church, around 3:40 pm on Tuesday. Bodejo was arrested at the gate and subsequently taken into custody.
The motive behind Bodejo’s arrest is reportedly linked to concerns that the establishment of the Nomad’s Vigilante Group could potentially incite violence nationwide. According to a DSS insider, the vigilante group lacked registration with the DSS, the police, or any other security agency, rendering it unrecognized by the Federal Government.
The source stated, “Our (DSS) operatives and soldiers of the Nigerian Army stormed the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office in Nasarawa this afternoon, and we’ve arrested their National President, Bello Bodejo, for creating a vigilante group that is not recognised by the government.”
He further emphasized, “The creation of that nomad’s vigilante group could cause violence in the country. The group was not registered with the DSS, the police, or any other security agency, and the group is not recognised by the Federal Government.”
Despite attempts to reach the DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya, for comment on the matter, there was no response to phone calls and text messages.
Bodejo had previously underscored that the volunteer vigilantes would operate in strict accordance with existing laws during their activities. During the inauguration in Lafia, Nasarawa State, he encouraged the volunteer vigilantes to collaborate with the Police, Army, and other security agencies to ensure a comprehensive approach to security across the 13 local councils of Nasarawa.
