The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that the anti-graft agency has uncovered a case where a religious sect in Nigeria is laundering money for terrorists. 

Speaking during a public engagement on youth, religion, and the fight against corruption, Olukoyede disclosed that the EFCC was investigating a N13bn fraud case when it discovered that N7bn of the funds were linked to a religious body’s bank account. 

Despite facing a restraining order obtained by the religious organization, the EFCC is determined to pursue the investigation and recover the stolen funds.
