Nigeria’s Anti-graft Agency otherwise known as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has revealed a religious sect in the country laundering money for terrorists.

EFCC disclosed that another religious body was found to be protecting a money launderer after some money suspected to have been laundered was traced to the organization’s bank account.

Speaking during a public engagement on youth, religion, and the fight against corruption, Chairman of the Commission Ola Olukoyede disclosed that the EFCC was investigating a N13bn or 10.8 Million Dollars fraud case when it discovered that N7bn of the amount was linked to a religious body’s bank account.

Although the religious body quickly obtained a restraining order to prevent the EFCC from probing its leaders, Olukoyede stated that the commission will not give up on the investigation as it is appealing the restraining order to recover the stolen funds
