The Bauchi State Council of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the continued detention of its National Leader, Bello Bodejo, urging the Federal Government to ensure his release or uphold due process if there are legal grounds for keeping him in custody.
The appeal was made by the association’s Bauchi State Chairman, Sale Garbu, during a press conference in Bauchi on Saturday. Garbu expressed concern over what he described as Bodejo’s prolonged detention without being brought before a court of law.
According to the chairman, the situation has raised concerns among members of the organisation, prompting calls for presidential intervention to resolve the matter.
“We are appealing to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the continued detention of our National Leader, Bello Bodejo,” Garbu said.
“We call on the President to use his good office to facilitate his release or ensure that due process is followed if there are legal grounds for his continued detention.”
