The National President of Miyetti Allah Kauta Kore, Bello Bodejo, was on Thursday arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly financing terrorism.

He was also charged with alleged money laundering offenses involving $2.63 million.

He was brought to justice by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

EFCC Legal Counsel, Wahab Shittu, SAN, named Bodejo as the sole defendant in an indictment dated June 24 and filed on June 25.

After the indictment was read to Bodejo, he pleaded not guilty to the 12 charges
