Arewa Group Slams Military for Re-Arresting Bello Badejo Despite His Poor Health
The Arewa for Justice Assembly has strongly criticized the Nigerian military for re-arresting Bello Badejo, the leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, despite his worsening health. Badejo, who had already endured six months of detention without any charges before being declared innocent, was reportedly taken from his cattle farm. His re-arrest has sparked outrage, with many accusing the military of violating basic human rights and ignoring the rule of law.
In a heartfelt statement, Comrade Musa Garba Yola, leader of the Arewa for Justice Assembly, condemned the military’s actions as not only unconstitutional but also cruel and unjust. He pointed out the emotional distress inflicted on Badejo’s family and the damage done to the reputation of the Nigerian military both at home and abroad.
The Arewa group stressed that re-arresting a man in such fragile health was a direct violation of his constitutional rights and an act of injustice. They have called for his immediate release, urging the government and other relevant authorities to step in and ensure that justice is served.
The group also warned that such actions erode public trust in Nigeria’s legal and military systems. They argued that this case is about more than just Badejo—it’s about protecting the rights of every Nigerian citizen, particularly those in the north, and upholding the democratic values the country stands for.
In closing, the Arewa for Justice Assembly urged a renewed commitment to the rule of law, saying that Nigeria’s future depends on the respect and protection of its citizens’ rights. The Assembly is unwavering in its demand for Badejo’s immediate and unconditional release.
