The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arraigned Bodejo 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.

The EFCC counsel, at the commencement of proceedings on Thursday told the court that the matter was scheduled for the defendant to take his plea on the charges.
