BREAKING: EFCC Traces N7bn To Religious Body Funding Terrorists
EFCC has traced N7 billion, suspected to be proceeds of fraud, to a religious organization.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced N7 billion, suspected to be proceeds of fraud, to a religious organization.
VerseNews reports that the Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, revealed this during a dialogue on “Youth, Religion, and the Fight against Corruption.”
The EFCC discovered the N7 billion while investigating a N13 billion fraud case, and the religious organization obtained a restraining order to prevent the EFCC from inviting its leaders.
Olukoyede stated that the commission is appealing the restraining order to recover the stolen funds.
Additionally, another unnamed religious body is linked to money laundering for a terrorist organization.
The EFCC chairman also revealed that since his assumption of office as the EFCC chairman about three months ago, the commission has secured 747 convictions.
Lamenting the high number of convictions, the EFCC chairman said most of them were from Internet related offences.
The event had the theme: “Youth, Religion and the Fight Against Corruption” and it featured launch of the Interfaith Preaching and Teaching Manual developed by the Interfaith Anti-corruption Advisory Committee (IAAC) of the Commission as a resource to promote abhorrence for corruption among adherents of the two religions: Islam and Christianity.
The Commission’s Fraud Risk Assessment Prevention and Control Project for Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, was also launched at the event.
