The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has pleaded not guilty to a 12-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering and terrorism financing before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Bodejo was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before Justice Inyang Ekwo over allegations that he laundered funds amounting to $2.63 million.

The EFCC also accused the Miyetti Allah president of involvement in terrorism financing as part of the charges brought against him.

During Thursday’s proceedings, EFCC counsel told the court that the case was listed for the defendant to enter his plea on the allegations.

The defence counsel, Ahmed Raji, SAN, did not object to the process.

After the 12-count charge was read to him, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to each of the allegations.

Following his plea, Justice Ekwo adjourned the matter for further proceedings as required by law.
