EFCC Charges Miyetti Allah President with $2.53m Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will arraign Bello Bodejo, president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering and terrorism financing involving $2.53 million. The anti-graft agency filed a 12-count charge on June 22, 2026. It accuses Bodejo of receiving multiple large cash payments from a former Bauchi State Accountant-General without using a financial institution, violating the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act. Charges include accepting $100,000 on January 11, 2022, $200,000 on January 21, 2022, $500,000 on March 20, 2024, and $980,000 on February 7, 2024. One count also alleges he knowingly possessed funds linked to unlawful activities. Bodejo is expected to enter his plea once the court fixes an arraignment date.
