Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe for conspiracy, naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.
The self-proclaimed Archbishop, founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, was taken into custody following a viral video showing several individuals under her supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church service.
The EFCC has indicated that it is pursuing additional suspects, as their actions violate Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
Archbishop Oyeghe has provided statements to investigators and will be formally charged in court once the investigation is concluded.
