The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, is set to arraign the National President of Miyetti Allah, Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, before a Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of terrorism financing and money laundering involving $2.53 million.
In a statement signed by the EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the commission said it filed a twelve count charge against Bodejo on June 22, 2026, accusing him of receiving and possessing large sums of foreign currency suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
The EFCC alleged that Bodejo received multiple cash payments ranging from 100,000 to 980,000 dollars from a former Accountant General of Bauchi State, Sa’idu Abubakar, without routing the transactions through financial institutions as required by law.
It further stated that the funds are reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities and therefore constitute offences under Nigeria’s money laundering laws.
Bodejo, who is also linked to Bala Mohammed, is expected to take his plea in the coming days as formal proceedings begin at the Federal High Court in Abuja, located in Abuja.
The EFCC said the alleged offences are punishable under the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011 and the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022, adding that further court proceedings will follow once an arraignment date is fixed.
