The Federal High  Court sitting in Abuja has granted bail to the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, to the tune of N2 billion over alleged money laundering involving $2.63 million.

Delivering the judgment after considering Bodejo’s bail application on Monday, Justice Inyang Ekwo held that the offences against the defendant are bailable and ruled that the court had the discretion to admit him to bail.

The court ordered Bodejo to produce two sureties in the like sum of N2 billion.

According to the court, one of the sureties must be a resident of Abuja and provide three years’ tax clearance, while the second surety must own landed property worth N2 billion within the Federal Capital Territory.

The court equally ordered the Miyetti Allah leader to surrender his international passport to the court registrar and barred him from travelling outside Nigeria without the court’s permission.

The offence with which the defendant was charged was bailable and the court has the discretionary power to exercise this in his favour,” Justice Ekwo ruled.

The judge subsequently adjourned the case until October 5, October 6 and October 7, 2026, for the commencement of trial.
