Controversy has erupted in Benue State following allegations that the son of the Miyetti Allah state chairman was among four individuals caught during a kidnapping and armed robbery operation in Ugbokolo.
According to a post by IDOMA Celebrities that has gone viral on social media, the Benue State Chairman of Miyetti Allah, Alhaji Ardo, was allegedly one of the four kidnappers arrested while attempting to rob a bus in the area. The report, which described the incident as involving the chairman’s son, has sparked outrage and questions about the activities associated with the group often linked to herders in the state.
The post questioned the credibility of the Miyetti Allah group, asking whether such alleged criminal involvement aligns with the image of “herders” they represent.
As of now, the claims remain unverified by official security agencies, and no formal statement has been issued by the police or the Miyetti Allah group regarding the incident. The development has generated heated discussions among residents, especially given the sensitive security situation in Benue State. Further details are expected as investigations unfold.
