EFCC Charges Miyetti Allah Leader with $2.53M Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed 12 counts against Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, the leader of Miyetti Allah, for alleged involvement in money laundering and terrorism financing amounting to $2.53 million. The charges were filed in the Federal High Court in Abuja on June 22, 2026.
The EFCC accuses Bodejo of receiving and possessing large sums of cash in foreign currency linked to unlawful activities. Specific allegations include accepting $100,000 from Sa Idu Abubakar, a former Accountant General of Bauchi State, on January 11, 2022, and further payments of $200,000 on January 21, 2022, and $500,000 on March 20, 2024.
Additionally, Bodejo is accused of accepting $980,000 on February 7, 2024. The EFCC claims these transactions exceed the statutory cash threshold permitted under the Money Laundering Prohibition Act of 2011 and the Money Laundering Prevention Prohibition Act of 2022.
Bodejo is expected to be arraigned in court soon.
