FG Withdraws Terrorism Charge Against Miyetti Allah President, Bello Bodejo
Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has struck out the terrorism charge filed against the President Of Miyetti Allah Alhaji Bello Bodejo.
The action was sequel to the withdrawal of the charge by the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
Justice Ekwo, in a short ruling, discharged Bodejo after counsel for the AGF, Aderonke Imana, moved an oral application for the withdrawal of the three-count charge.
She said the request was further predicated on the power of the AGF under Section 174 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
“Consequently, the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation has instructed me to withdraw this charge against the defendant in the interest of justice.”
Bodejo’s team of lawyers, including Johnson Usman (SAN) but led by Ahmed Raji (SAN) did not oppose the application.
The senior lawyer thanked the AGF, Lateef Fagbem (SAN) for his “magnanimous gesture.”
It must be noted that Bodejo was arrested and signed on the allegations of raising an armed militia to the detriment of the nation’s unity.
