The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, was on Thursday arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over an alleged $2.63 million money laundering scheme and terrorism financing.
Bodejo was docked by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which filed a 12-count charge against him.
According to court documents dated June 24 and filed on June 25, the anti-graft agency accused the Miyetti Allah leader of money laundering and terrorism financing offenses.
When the matter came up before Justice Inyang Ekwo, EFCC counsel, Wahab Shittu (SAN), informed the court that the case was slated for the defendant to take his plea.
Defense counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), raised no objection to the application.
After the charges were read, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts.
