The accused is being tried for allegedly establishing an ethnic militia known as ‘KUNGIYA ZAMAN LAFIYA’ in Nasarawa without authorisation.
The judge, who said at least 10 family members of Bodejo would always be allowed in court, adjourned the matter until May 27, May 28, May 29 and May 30 for trial.
This came after weeks of back and forth on the issue of the custody of Bodejo with his counsel citing health challenges while under arrest.
