The Economic and Financial Crimes Comission (EFCC) has arrested a self-acclaimed Archbishop, Angel Oyeghe, over viral video of church members spraying Naira notes on a live cow.
Oyeghe was arrested in Warri, Delta State, on Tuesday by the EFCC operatives attached to the commission’s Benin Zonal.
As disclosed in a statement issued on the EFCC’s official X handle on Thursday, the self-acclaimed Archbishop who is the founder of Faith Healing Ministry 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.
She was accused of conspiracy, naira mutilation and suspected money laundering after being apprehended.
The anti-graft disclosed that its operatives are on the trail of arresting other suspects as their action contravenes the provision of Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
Oyeghe was said to have made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
