Miyetti Allah Members Rally at Abuja Court, Demand President's Release
In a dramatic turn of events, members of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore converged in large numbers at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, vehemently demanding the immediate release of their president, Bello Bodejo.
Bodejo's arrest on January 23 at the Miyetti Allah's office in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, stemming from the unveiling of a vigilante group, has sparked controversy and now prompted his supporters to take to the streets.
Since his apprehension, Bodejo has remained in the custody of the Defence Intelligence Agency, triggering heightened tensions among his followers.
The legal battle intensified when the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), filed a motion ex-parte on February 5, seeking Bodejo's remand pending the conclusion of investigations and subsequent arraignment in court.
However, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court ruled in favor of the government's motion, granting a 15-day remand for Bodejo. Following this decision, the court granted the Federal Government an additional seven days to formalize charges against him.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Bodejo's legal team has mounted a vigorous defense, filing a motion for his unconditional release, which is set for hearing today.
The unfolding saga surrounding Bodejo's detention continues to captivate public attention, with many closely monitoring the developments as they unfold. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
