The EFCC has arraigned the leader of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore group, Bello Bodejo, before the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of money laundering involving $2.33 million.
Bodejo was brought before Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo on 12 counts relating to allegations of receiving large sums of U.S. dollars without following the banking channels as required by law.
Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
EFCC counsel Wahab Shittu (SAN) asked the court to proceed with the trial and remand the suspect, while Bodejo's lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN), applied for bail.
However, the court ordered that Bodejo be remanded in EFCC custody and adjourned the hearing to July 20, 2026, to rule on his bail application.
