The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe, founder of Faith Healing Ministry, Warri, Delta State, over alleged conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
The EFCC disclosed this in a statement posted on its social media platform on Wednesday.
According to the Commission, operatives of its Benin Zonal Directorate arrested Oyeghe on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, following a viral video showing individuals “under her supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme.”
“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 statement read.
It said the act contravened Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, which prohibits the abuse and mutilation of the nation’s currency.
The EFCC added that its operatives were tracking other suspects involved in the incident, noting that the Commission “is on the trail of other suspects, as their actions contravene the provisions of Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.”
The Commission further stated that the cleric had already provided useful information to investigators.
“Archbishop Oyeghe has made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” it added.
