The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural association, has alleged that many of its members are arrested and in correctional facilities nationwide for no reason.
The National President of the association, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, disclosed this on Monday in its Annual General Meeting held at Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
According to him, cattle herders suffer severe injustice because they are Fulanis.
Consequently, the group set up a 55-man legal team to address the situation and free its members.
Bodejo tasked the federal government to speed up actions toward releasing its members arrested unjustly nationwide.
“Many of our kinsmen are in correctional facilities nationwide for unjust reasons. They are constantly arrested and sent to jail simply because they are pastoring around grazing areas.
“Others were arrested just because they are Fulani people.
“The situation has been very worrisome; that is why we decided to constitute the 55-man legal team to help us fight the cause of our people, especially the innocent ones, to get justice,” he said.
