EFCC Exposes Religious Sect Laundering Money For Terrorists
Olukoyede said, “A religious sect in this country had been found to be laundering money for terrorists.”
Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has disclosed that the organization has discovered a Nigerian religious group that is purportedly involved in money laundering for terrorists.
This was all the while he disclosed that some money suspected of being laundered was found to have been traced to the bank account of another religious organization, which turned out to be shielding a money launderer.
The revelation was made by the head of the EFCC on Wednesday during a one-day dialogue on “Youth, Religion, and the Fight against Corruption” at the Musa Yar Adua Centre in Abuja.
He mentioned that it has been determined that religious bodies, organizations, and sects are guilty of money laundering.
Olukoyede continued, “A religious sect in this country had been found to be laundering money for terrorists.”
“We were able to trace some laundered money to a religious organisation, and when we apporached the religious organisation about it and we were carrying out our investigation, we got a restraining order stopping us from carrying out our investigation,” he explained.
As of the time this report was written, the event was still going on
