    “Some religious organizations are more corrupt than public offices”- EFCC chairman, Ola Olukayode

    EFCC

    Ola Olukoyede, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), 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.
