Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has issued an ultimatum to the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that the group will withdraw its backing in the 2027 general elections unless the Department of State Services (DSS) sets its National President, Bello Bodejo, free. During a press conference held at Bodejo’s home in Uke, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, the Fulani socio-cultural association declared it would only support candidates and political parties genuinely dedicated to the welfare and progress of the Fulani community.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
During a press briefing held at Bodejo’s home in Uke, located within the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, the Fulani socio-cultural association declared that its large voting bloc would exclusively support political candidates and parties that actively prove their dedication to the progression and well-being of the Fulani community.
Conveying the group’s grievances, Nasarawa State Chairman Akhajo Abubakar voiced deep frustration regarding the ongoing incarceration of their leader. Abubakar emphasized that the organization’s political direction and voter alignment in the upcoming polls will heavily depend on how leadership and members of the community are treated by the ruling establishment. Highlighting their political leverage, Abubakar noted that the Fulani community boasts over one million registered voters in Nasarawa State alone, giving them substantial muscle to sway electoral results.
This political friction surfaced on the heels of Bodejo’s fresh detention by operatives of the DSS, which occurred immediately after he secured his release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Prior to this second detention, legal representatives of the Miyetti Allah leader had successfully satisfied all requirements tied to his administrative bail. However, as Bodejo was departing the EFCC national headquarters in Abuja on a Friday, DSS agents intercepted him and took him back into custody.

Upon learning of the incident, soldiers from the Guards Brigade and the Army Headquarters Garrison quickly mobilized a tracking operation.

Faced with the military’s overwhelming firepower and rapid response, the criminals abandoned their captive and fled into the bushes, allowing soldiers to safely rescue Mrs. Adonkie at Angwan Sabo Village.
The military immediately expanded its search toward the Aco Estate and Angwan Sayawa axis, deploying reinforcements to seal off potential escape routes. The operation pressed forward on Wednesday, September 2, culminating in troops intercepting and arresting two suspected gang members near Gaube village in the Kuje Area Council. Alongside the arrests, soldiers recovered an AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and 19 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition. Security forces are maintaining ongoing clearance and tracking patrols across neighboring communities to hunt down the remaining members of the syndicate.
