Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ola Olukoyede has said that he has evidence to prove that some religious organisations are “more corrupt” than public offices in Nigeria.

Olukoyede during a leadership conference organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos on Friday, urged pastors across the country to use their platform “not only to preach but also to demonstrate” good characters to their congregation.

He accused religious leaders of pointing fingers at others rather than themselves.

“Just this last week, I have had cause to recover how many millions from a religious organisation,” Olukoyede said.

“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.”
