Ola Olukayode, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has accused an undisclosed religious sect of laundering money for terrorists.
He made this known on on Wednesday at the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, during a one-day dialogue on “Youth, Religion, and the Fight against Corruption.”
He revealed that the anti-graft agency received a restraining order stopping it from carrying out its investigation.
He said, “A religious sect in this country had been found to be laundering money for terrorists.”
Earlier, he noted, “We were able to trace some laundered money to a religious organisation, and when we approached the religious organisation about it and we were carrying out our investigation, we got a restraining order stopping us from carrying out our investigation.”
