The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to bring 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.
According to a statement issued by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the Commission filed a 12-count charge against Bodejo on June 22, 2026.
The charges accuse him of receiving and possessing substantial amounts of foreign currency allegedly derived from unlawful activities.
The charge sheet alleges that Bodejo received several cash payments, ranging between $100,000 and $980,000, from a former Accountant-General of Bauchi State, Sa’idu Abubakar, without processing the transactions through recognised financial institutions as stipulated by law.
The EFCC maintains that part of the funds was derived from unlawful activities, amounting to violations of Nigeria’s anti-money laundering regulations.
Bodejo, who is reportedly associated with Bala Mohammed, is expected to enter his plea once formal proceedings begin before the court.
The alleged offences are said to contravene provisions of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011, and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The Commission stated that further legal action will proceed after the court fixes a date for his arraignment.
