EFCC nabs archbishop after video shows church members spraying naira notes on cow during service
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Tuesday, arrested a female Archbishop and founder of Faith Healing Ministry, Warri, Delta State, for alleged naira mutilation and money laundering.
In a statement on X, on Wednesday, the anti-graft agency said the cleric was nabbed after congregation members under her supervision, sprayed naira notes on a cow.
The EFCC said, “Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, arrested one Archbishop Angel Oyeghe for conspiracy, naira mutilation and suspected money laundering.
“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 agency said other suspects are currently being trailed to ensure their arrest over their action, which contravened Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
EFCC added that Mrs Oyeghe has made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
