NGThe Federal High Court in Abuja has reduced the bail bond for Bello Bodejo, the national president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, from N2 billion to N1 billion in his money laundering trial. Bodejo was initially granted bail on 20 July with strict conditions requiring two sureties, including proof of property ownership and tax clearance. After his legal team requested a relaxation of these conditions, Judge Inyang Ekwo deferred the matter due to the court's annual vacation starting on 27 July. During the vacation, Judge Salim Ibrahim ruled in favor of reducing the bail amount but maintained some requirements for the sureties. The trial is set to resume after the vacation period. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleges that Bodejo accepted over N5 million in unreported foreign currency transactions, violating Nigeria's anti-money laundering laws.
