The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is set to arraign the National President of Miyetti Allah, Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged terrorism financing and money laundering involving 2.53 million dollars.
In a statement signed by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the Commission disclosed that it filed a 12-count charge against Bodejo on June 22, 2026, accusing him of receiving and possessing large sums of foreign currency allegedly linked to proceeds of unlawful activities.
The charges allege 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.
The EFCC further alleges that some of the funds were proceeds of unlawful activities and constitute offences under Nigeria’s money laundering laws.
Bodejo, who is also linked to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, is expected to take his plea in the coming days as formal court proceedings commence.
The alleged offences are punishable under the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011, and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The EFCC says further proceedings will follow once an arraignment date is fixed.
