The arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing multiple individuals under Oyeghe’s supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme – an act the EFCC says violates Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Benin Zonal Directorate, have arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe, the controversial founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, over allegations of conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
The arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing multiple individuals under Oyeghe’s supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme – an act the EFCC says violates Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
This is contained in a statement released by the Commission, which disclosed that the Archbishop Oyeghe would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
The statement read, “The self-acclaimed Archbishop who is the founder of Faith Healing Ministry, Warri, Delta State was arrested following a viral video where several individuals under her supervision were seen spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme.
“The Commission is on the trail of arresting other suspects as their action contravenes the provision of Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
“Archbishop Oyeghe has made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
