Miyetti Allah: ‘Amotekun’ is a plot against Fulani… those behind it must be arrested

The Miyetti Allah Kaute Hore has asked the federal government to
arrest south-west leaders in charge of Amotekun, a regional
security outfit.

In an interview with The
Sun^[1], Bello
Bodejo, national president of the group, said the outfit is a plot
against the Fulani ethnic group.

On Wednesday, the group had asked south-west governors to give
up the outfit after Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the
federation (AGF), had declared it illegal.

“They should not only ban it, but should arrest the leaders of
this group. Like I said earlier, nobody or group has more security
intelligence than the Police. The Army is doing enough; the DSS is
also doing enough, likewise the Civil Defence,” the newspaper
quoted Bodejo as saying.

“They are just doing all these things in order to stop the
Fulani from coming into their area;  it is just a hidden
agenda to prevent the Fulani herdsmen from grazing in their
God-given areas.

“If you say you set up Amotekun to protect  your region,
what about the Northern Nigeria, what about the Southeast and the
South-South and other places that don’t have that kind of thing.
Nigeria is one; everything is one, unless they want to divide the
country.

“I know some of their leaders have good hearts, but others have
evil hearts, and those are the ones coming up with this agenda that
the Fulani can’t do this and the Fulani can’t do that; all these
things are happening because of Fulani; they are just against the
Fulani.

“I support 100 percent the federal government banning it; and
the leaders should be arrested. It is a deliberate plot against the
Fulani.”
