Nigeria: EFCC Files Charge Against Miyetti Allah President Over $2.53m Terrorism Financing, Money Laundering
The anti-graft agency alleges he received $2.53 million in cash linked to unlawful activity and is awaiting arraignment before a federal court.
- On Monday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission filed a 12-count charge against Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, before the Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly laundering $2.530 million.
- Prosecutors allege Bodejo received large sums of cash from the Bauchi State Government via former Accountant-General Saidu Abubakar between 2022 and 2024, bypassing financial institutions in violation of the Money Laundering Act, 2011.
- Specific counts allege Bodejo accepted $100,000 on January 11, 2022, $200,000 on January 21, 2022, and $980,000 on February 7, 2024, all exceeding statutory cash transaction thresholds without routing funds through financial institutions.
- This case parallels an ongoing trial of Bauchi State Commissioner for Finance Yakubu Adamu and civil servants charged with releasing state funds to Bodejo allegedly used to finance terrorism.
- Bodejo, who spent six months in detention in 2024 before terrorism charges were withdrawn by the Attorney-General of the Federation, is expected to enter his plea before the court in the coming days.
