The cleric said he felt humiliated as a Nigerian over the billions of Naira being discovered by the EFCC, noting that such monies were the budget size of some African countries.

Kukah spoke at the national anti-money laundering / counter financing

of terrorism sensitization seminar by the Inter-governmental Action group against Money laundering in West Africa (GIABA) which held in Kaduna, Wednesday April 19.

He said: “I feel more demoralized and very humiliated as a Nigerian but the confusion is that we are dealing with monies that are of the sizable of budget of some African states.

“I think it’s unthinkable that we are having such money running into billions of naira and we don’t know who owned such monies.

“Frankly, like I said, if I were a foreigner, my respect for Nigeria will dwindle seriously.

“Even me as a Nigerian, I feel quite violated and I don’t really know if all this theatre is the best way to go.
