Miyetti Allah Members Storm Abuja Court, Call For Release Of Their President
Scores of members of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore gathered at the Federal High Court in Abuja, demanding the unconditional release of their president, Bello Bodejo.
Bodejo was taken into custody on January 23 at the Miyetti Allah office in the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State due to his involvement in the launch of a vigilante group.
He has been in the custody of the Defence Intelligence Agency since that time.
On February 5, the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), filed an ex-parte motion seeking to detain Bodejo until the investigation concludes and he is arraigned in court.
But Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court issued an order to remand Bodejo for a period of 15 days.
At the expiration of the 15 days, the court gave the federal government seven days to file a charge against Bodejo.
At the proceedings on February 22, the judge gave the FG seven days to file a charge against Bodejo.
Bodejo’s lawyer subsequently filed a motion for his unconditional release.
The motion is slated for hearing today.
