The National President of Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, Bello Bodejo, was on Thursday arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering and terrorism financing involving 2.63 million dollars.
Bodejo was docked by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which filed a 12-count charge against him before Justice Inyang Ekwo.
The charge, dated June 24 and filed on June 25, accuses the Miyetti Allah leader of offences bordering on money laundering and terrorism financing.
When the case was called, EFCC counsel, Wahab Shittu (SAN), informed the court that the matter was slated for the defendant to take his plea.
Counsel to the defendant, Ahmed Raji (SAN), raised no objection to the application.
After the charges were read, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts.
The court is expected to fix a date for the commencement of trial and consideration of any bail application.
