The National President of Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, Bello Bodejo, has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of money laundering involving 2.63 million dollars and terrorism financing.
The case came up on Thursday before Justice Inyang Ekwo after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed a 12-count charge against Bodejo. The charges were dated June 24 and filed on June 25.
During the court session, the EFCC's lawyer, Wahab Shittu (SAN), informed the court that the matter was fixed for the defendant to enter his plea. Defence counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), did not object to the proceedings.
After the charges were read in court, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts.
The EFCC is prosecuting the Miyetti Allah leader as the only defendant in the case, accusing him of offences linked to the alleged laundering of 2.63 million dollars as well as terrorism financing.
Following his plea, the case is expected to continue before the Federal High Court as the prosecution seeks to prove the allegations against him, while the defendant maintains his innocence.
