We have discovered religious sect laundering money for terrorists so says Olukayode,EFCC chairman as Nigerians demand he mentions names
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ola Olukoyede has revealed that the anti-graft agency uncovered how a religious sect is laundering money for terrorists in Nigeria.
Olukoyede made the revelation on Wednesday at the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja during a one-day dialogue on ‘Youth, Religion, and the Fight against Corruption,’ reports The Nation.
He also said that another religious body was found to be protecting a money launderer after some money suspected to have been laundered was traced to the organisation’s bank account.
The anti-graft boss noted that religious organisations, institutions, sects, and bodies, have been found culpable of money laundering.
Olukoyede said: “A religious sect in this country had been found to be laundering money for terrorists.”
Some Nigerians are not happy with the mere statement and accusations of the EFCC chairman Olukayode. They want him to go further by being bold enough to mention the church or mosque that is behind the criminal and sinister activities which to all intents and purposes is a treasonable felony against the government and state.
