Sunday, July 14, 2024 - The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, says some religious organisations are “more corrupt” than public offices in Nigeria.
Olukoyede spoke at a Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG) leadership conference in Lagos on Friday, July
14. The EFCC boss revealed that his organisation recently recovered “many
millions from a religious organisation.”
Olukoyede accused religious leaders
of looking at the “speckle in someone else eyes, meanwhile, there is a log in
yours.” He then urged clerics to use their platform “not only to preach but
also to demonstrate” good characters to their congregation.
“Just this last week, I have had
cause to recover how many millions from a religious organisation,” the EFCC
boss said.
They appointed you a pastor, and that
is when you become a big man. We don’t even know what you are doing to earn a
legitimate living. You live on the ministry and the church or mosque money. You
can’t even explain the source of your wealth.
Some religious organisations are more
corrupt than public offices. I have evidence towards that. You look at the
speckle in someone else eyes, but meanwhile, there is a log in yours.”
In January, Olukoyede said the EFCC
uncovered a religious sect laundering money terrorists in Nigeria.
