EFCC to Arraign Miyetti Allah Leader in $2.53M Case

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is preparing to arraign Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, at the Federal High Court in Abuja on June 22, 2026. Bodejo faces a 12-count charge related to money laundering and terrorist financing involving $2.53 million.

The EFCC alleges that he received and possessed large sums of foreign currency linked to unlawful activities, violating the Money Laundering Prohibition Act of 2011 and the Money Laundering Prevention Prohibition Act of 2022. Specific charges include accepting $100,000 in cash from Idu Abubakar on January 11, 2022, without following the required financial transaction protocols.

Additional allegations include accepting $200,000 on January 21, 2022, and $500,000 on March 20, 2024. Bodejo is also accused of possessing $980,000 on February 7, 2024, knowing it constituted proceeds of unlawful activities.

The EFCC claims these offenses are punishable under various provisions of the money laundering laws.
