The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, on Thursday 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 involving the laundering of 2.63 million dollars.
The anti-graft agency also accused the Miyetti Allah leader of financing terrorism.
At the commencement of proceedings, EFCC counsel informed the court that the matter was scheduled for the defendant to take his plea on the charges.
Counsel to the defendant, Ahmed Raji, SAN, did not oppose the application.
After the 12-count charge was read to him, Bodejo pleaded not guilty to all the counts.
Following the plea, the court adjourned the matter for further proceedings in accordance with the law.
