The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced plans to arraign Bello Abdullahi Bodejo before a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged money laundering and terrorism financing involving $2.53 million.
According to the EFCC, Bodejo is facing a 12-count charge related to unlawful cash transactions and possession of funds suspected to be proceeds of crime.
The Commission alleged that he received large sums of cash from a former Accountant-General of Bauchi State, Sa’idu Abubakar, without processing the transactions through financial institutions as required by law.
The EFCC stated that the alleged offences violate provisions of the Money Laundering Acts of 2011 and 2022.
Bodejo is expected to enter his plea before the court as legal proceedings begin in the coming days.
