Speaking during a public engagement on youth, religion, and the fight against corruption, as well as the launch of the fraud risk assessment project for ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), Olukoyede stated that the EFCC was investigating a N13 billion fraud case when it discovered N7 billion linked to a religious body.

He added that the organization quickly obtained a restraining order to prevent the EFCC from inviting its leaders.

Olukoyede further said the commission will not give up on the investigation as it is appealing the restraining order in order to recover the stolen funds.

He further said another unnamed religious body was also linked to be laundering money for a terrorist body, which has been killing and destroying Nigerians and Nigeria for a long time now.

Lamenting the high number of convictions, the EFCC chairman said most of them were from Internet related offences.
