Miyetti Allah Leader Denies $2.63m Charges

The Miyetti Allah leader has spoken — and he’s denying everything.

According to a report by Leadership Newspapers, Bello Bodejo appeared before Justice Inyang Ekwo at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to a 12-count charge tied to $2.63 million in alleged money laundering and terrorism financing.

EFCC counsel Wahab Shittu (SAN) confirmed the matter was scheduled for plea-taking, while defence counsel Ahmed Raji (SAN) raised no objection to the charges being read. Court documents show the charge was dated June 24 and filed June 25, with Bodejo named as the sole defendant.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case for further proceedings as the EFCC pushes to establish its allegations at trial.
