National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday over allegations of terrorism financing and money laundering involving $2.63 million.
Bodejo was brought before Justice Inyang Ekwo on a 12-count charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The anti-graft agency, through its counsel, Wahab Shittu, SAN, listed Bodejo as the sole defendant in the charge dated June 24 and filed on June 25.
At the commencement of proceedings, Shittu told the court that the matter was for the defendant to enter his plea.
Bodejo’s counsel, Ahmed Raji, SAN, did not object to the application.
After the charges were read to him, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts.
