The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has stated that judgment shall start from the house of God, quoting the biblical verse 1 Peter 4:17.
The Commission made this declaration on Tuesday via a post on X, announcing the 164th edition of EFCC Connect titled “Fighting Economic and Financial Crimes in the House of God.”
This biblical statement is often interpreted to mean that God’s judgment or serious testing begins with believers before affecting others who do not follow the gospel.
The EFCC’s post has elicited mixed reactions from users on X.
Some users expressed skepticism, suggesting that judgment from the EFCC should begin with government officials and public offices instead.
Others criticized the EFCC for lacking jurisdiction to judge religious institutions and accused the commission of favoritism towards corrupt politicians.
Comments ranged from calls for the EFCC to clean up its own house before judging others, to accusations of bias and double standards.
