The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the President of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, in the sum of N2 billion as he faces trial over an alleged $2.63 million money laundering case.
In a ruling delivered on Monday, the court admitted Bodejo to bail under stringent conditions pending the determination of the charges against him. The case forms part of ongoing legal proceedings over allegations of financial misconduct involving the accused.
The court also directed that Bodejo must meet all the bail conditions before he can be released from custody, while the matter was adjourned to a later date for the continuation of trial.
Bodejo has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the trial is expected to continue as the prosecution presents its case.
The court’s decision to grant bail does not amount to a determination of guilt or innocence, as the allegations remain subject to judicial determination.
