The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, made public that it has uncovered how a religious sect in Nigeria is laundering money for terrorists.
This revelation was made known by the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ola Olukoyede, who equally declared 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.
In his speech at a public engagement on youth, religion, and the fight against corruption, as well as the launch of the fraud risk assessment project for ministries, departments, and agencies, Olukoyede posited that the Commission was investigating a N13bn fraud case when it discovered that N7bn of the N13bn was linked to a religious body’s bank account
He also insisted that religious organisations, institutions, sects, and bodies have been found culpable of money laundering.
