The President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has accused Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule of pressuring him to form the ethnic militia group, Kungiya Zaman Lafiya. Bodejo, facing terrorism charges, alleged that the governor orchestrated the establishment of the group.
He claimed Governor Sule wanted a vigilante group different from others in the state and directed him to work with Akajo, the group's leader. Despite Bodejo's objections, the governor allegedly insisted on his collaboration with Akajo.
Bodejo further alleged that Governor Sule released funds for the group's activities, including the procurement of uniforms and kits. However, after registering the group as the Nomadic Vigilante Group of Nigeria, the governor reportedly demanded that the group's name be changed to Kungiya Zaman Lafiya, causing friction between them. Bodejo claimed that the governor's aim was to marginalize him and control the group for his agenda.
In response, an aide to Governor Sule, Peter Ahemba, denied the governor's involvement in the establishment of the Kungiya Zaman Lafiya. Ahemba emphasized that the governor upholds the rule of law and would not support any illegal activities. He urged the public to disregard the allegations, stating that there is no truth to them. Governor Sule's stance is that he would not endorse any unauthorized group, especially one that operates outside the law.
These revelations highlight a contentious issue in Nasarawa State, where accusations and denials have clouded the establishment of the Kungiya Zaman Lafiya. The allegations made by Bello Bodejo raise questions about the governor's role and intentions, underscoring the need for transparency and adherence to legal frameworks in all security-related matters.
