Some Religious Organisations ‘More Corrupt’ Than Public Offices In Nigeria- EFCC Boss
Just this last week, I have had cause to recover how many millions from a religious organisation.
Ikeja, Lagos State– The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has alleged that some religious organisations are “more corrupt” than public offices in Nigeria.
Speaking at a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) leadership conference in Lagos on Friday, disclosed 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.
“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,” he said.
