Kwara Government Confirms Arrested Armed Men Are Miyetti Allah Members Linked to NSA Ribadu-Led Federal Security Operation
The Kwara State Government has confirmed that armed men recently arrested by Nigerian soldiers were members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association participating in a federal security operation coordinated by the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu. The clarification followed public outrage after the suspects, found with AK-47 rifles, claimed they were sponsored by the Ilorin government. State officials explained that the men were incorporated into a Joint Task Force-style security arrangement after deadly attacks in Ifelodun Local Government Area, involving security agencies, vigilantes, and Miyetti Allah members. Authorities said the suspects later absconded with a patrol vehicle and were arrested outside Kwara State. The development has reignited debate over the controversial use of armed non-state actors in combating insecurity, amid growing fears among residents and calls for calm from the state government.
