The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arraign the President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged terrorism financing and money laundering involving about $2.53 million.
The EFCC filed a 12 count charge against Bodejo on June 22, accusing him of receiving and possessing foreign currency allegedly linked to unlawful activities.
The commission said Bodejo allegedly received several cash payments from former Bauchi State Accountant General, Sa’idu Abubakar, without passing the transactions through a financial institution as required by law.
One of the counts alleged that Bodejo received $100,000 in cash in Abuja on January 11, 2022. Another count accused him of receiving $200,000 from the same source on January 21, 2022.
Bodejo is expected to take his plea in the coming days. The allegations remain before the court and have not been determined.
