EFCC Slams Terrorism Financing Charges Against Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore President

The President of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, the umbrella body for cattle breeders in northern Nigeria, BELLO BODEJO, is to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja on charges of terrorism financing and money laundering.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alleged that BELLO BODEJO is involved the illicit financial activities to the tune of Two-Point-Five-Three Million US Dollars.

In a twelve-count charge filed in court on June 22, 2026, the EFCC alleged that BODEJO received and is in possession of large sums of foreign currency linked to proceeds of unlawful activities, in violation of the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act, 2022.

EFCC spokesman, DELE OYEWALE, who confirmed the development in a statement, said BODEJO is accused of accepting multiple cash payments from a former Accountant-General of Bauchi State, SA’IDU ABUBAKAR, without routing the transactions through any financial institution as required by law.
