The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe, founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, over alleged conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
Operatives of the Commission’s Benin Zonal Directorate took Oyeghe into custody on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, following the circulation of a viral video showing individuals under her supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme.
According to the EFCC, the act violates Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, 2007, which prohibits the abuse and mutilation of the nation’s currency. The agency added that efforts are ongoing to apprehend others involved in the incident.
The Archbishop has reportedly provided useful statements to investigators and is expected to be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
