The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday arrested a female Archbishop and founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, over alleged naira mutilation and suspected money laundering.
The arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing members of her congregation spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church service.
In a statement shared on X on Wednesday, the anti-graft agency said, “Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe for conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
The self-acclaimed Archbishop, founder of Faith Healing Ministry, Warri, Delta State, was arrested following a viral video showing several individuals under her supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme.”
The EFCC noted that other suspects involved in the incident are being traced to ensure their arrest, as their actions violated Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
The agency added that Archbishop Oyeghe has provided useful statements and will be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
