FG withdraws terrorism charge against Miyetti Allah leader, Bodejo


In a dramatic turn of events, the Federal Government has opted to withdraw the alleged terrorism charge leveled against Alhaji Bello Bodejo, the President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Kore.

Prosecuting lawyer, Mrs. Aderonke Imana, delivered the unexpected news, stating, “Consequently, the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation has instructed me to withdraw this charge against the defendant in the interest of justice.”


Imana’s oral application, made pursuant to Section 108 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 and the powers vested in the Attorney General of the Federation under Section 174 of the Constitution, marked a significant shift in the legal proceedings.


Responding to the prosecution’s application, Defense lawyer Ahmed Raji, SAN, expressed gratitude for the Attorney General’s decision, stating, “We urge your lordship to discharge the accused person under the sections referred to by the prosecutor.”


In a ruling that echoed the spirit of justice, Justice Inyang Ekwo ordered the discharge of Bodejo, affirming, “The court is hereby moved to consider the application for the discharge of the defendant. Consequently, an order is hereby made discharging the defendant. That is the order of this court.”


The decision to withdraw the terrorism charge against Bodejo marks a significant development in the legal proceedings, signaling a departure from the initial trajectory of the case.


As the courtroom drama unfolds, all eyes remain on the implications of this decision and its broader ramifications within the legal landscape.
