The Department of State Services has claimed that Miyetti Allah’s President, Bello Bodejo, who was arrested by soldiers and DSS operatives on Tuesday, is not in its custody.

The DSS’ spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, made the development known in a WhatsApp message sent to journalists.

“Bello Bodejo is not with the DSS,” Afunanya simply wrote.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army’s spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, said he could not confirm Bodejo’s arrest by soldiers of the Nigerian Army.

“I don’t have the information about his arrest,” Nwachukwu said.

Earlier, the National Secretary, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Saleh Al-Hassan, confirmed the arrest of the association’s President, Bodejo, by soldiers of the Nigerian Army and operatives of the DSS.

Al-Hassan disclosed the development in an exclusive telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday.

DSS operatives and soldiers on Tuesday reportedly stormed the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office, Tundun Maliya Cattle Market Kilometre 22, Abuja-Keffi Expressway, Tundun-Wada, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, and arrested Bodejo, over the creation of a vigilante group in Nasarawa State.

However, the National Secretary, claimed that the Miyetti Allah’s President’s arrest was not in connection with the recent creation of the nomad’s vigilante group.

Al-Hassan said, “Yes, our national President has been arrested. It was soldiers of the Nigerian Army and DSS operatives who came here and took him away. But the DSS has always been here, and the soldiers are his friends. I think it’s the soldiers who invited him to make some clarifications, but when I get the details, I’ll inform you.

“However, I can categorically tell you that his arrest was not in connection with the creation of the Miyetti Allah vigilante group. We created the group for security purposes, and the police, DSS, and Army were all informed and they knew about it. In fact, a representative of the Nigerian Army and the DSS were present when we launched the group, and we also informed the Commissioner of Police.”

Confucius!!

Me think they want to buy enough time because they are not allowed to legally hold him beyond 48 hours without charges

If you believe say Tinubu get mind to arrest Miyetti Allah Akbar president , then you better believe Obama is my Uncle .

Arrest the leader of herdsmen and watch how defenceless Yoruba farmers will be turned to compost manure all over the SW

When the FG is ready to tackle security head on, we’ll know. Military cannot do it alone , FG will have to carry the people along. They will have to enable the formation of fully trained state and local police where the people will be empowered to defend the communities.

For now FG is just managing the situation by dropping bombs on large groups of bandits in the forest . But just one lone bandit with an AK-47 can kill 30 people .

Nlfpmod, where is Miyetti Allah leader.

Only you guys worship the Fulanis because they are your perpetual masters.

You should learn to personalize this talk by now.

Lol it is very hard to understand the IQ level of some Nairalanders.

Neither the army nor DSS denied arresting him but the supposed "graduates" on NL expect DSS to tell the whole world the location of the terrorist they arrested few hours ago.

Who are these people?

So you really believed M.A President was detained? Lmao.

Dude was most likely invited for clarifications and released shortly after, hence the statement.

Some people’s celebrations have been cut short.

Forget matter. The guy will be released. Have you ever seen any herdsman charged to court.
