EFCC Arrests Female ‘Archbishop’ Over Naira Abuse In Delta
The arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing individuals under Archbishop Oyeghe’s supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme
Benin, Edo State – Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Benin Zonal Office, have arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe, founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, for alleged conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
The arrest followed the circulation of a viral video showing individuals under Archbishop Oyeghe’s supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme—an act that has raised serious legal and ethical questions.
The EFCC stated that the action violates Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, which prohibits mutilation of the nation’s currency.
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 note 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.”
