The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of Nigeria, Ola Olukoyede, has disclosed that some Churches, Mosques and other religious organizations in Nigeria are more corrupt than politicians or public offices.

According to him, recently, he had to recover “many millions from a religious organization.”

“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.”

According to him,
in January this year, the EFCC uncovered a religious sect laundering money terrorists in Nigeria.

He made the revelation while speaking at a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) leadership conference in Lagos on Friday, July 14.

The EFCC Chairman accused Nigerian religious leaders of looking at the “speckle in someone else eyes, meanwhile, there is a log in yours.”

He has therefore appealed to clerics to use their platform “not only to preach but also to demonstrate” good characters to their congregation.
“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.”
