A religious organisation was laundering money for terrorists wreaking havoc in Nigeria, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Ola Olukoyede has revealed.
He said this at a one-day dialogue in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Olukoyede speaking at a programme with the theme: “Youth, Religion, and the Fight against Corruption”, said the commission discovered that a religious body was protecting a money launderer after some money suspected to have been laundered was traced to the organisation’s bank account.
“We were able to trace some laundered money to a religious organisation.”
“When we approached the religious organisation about it and we were carrying out our investigation, we got a restraining order stopping us from carrying out our investigation,” the EFCC boss said.
