JUST IN: EFCC Arrests Female Archbishop Over Alleged Naira Abuse in Delta

Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe for alleged conspiracy, Naira mutilation, and suspected money laundering.

Oyeghe, a self-acclaimed Archbishop and founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, was taken 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, efforts are underway to apprehend other individuals involved in the incident, which violates Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, prohibiting the abuse and mutilation of the national currency.

The agency disclosed that Archbishop Oyeghe has provided useful statements and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
