Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, arrested Archbishop Angel Oyeghe for conspiracy, naira mutilation and suspected money laundering.
Oyeghe, who identifies as the founder of Faith Healing Ministry in Warri, Delta State, was taken into custody after a viral video showed several individuals under her supervision spraying naira notes on a live cow during a church programme.
The Commission said it is pursuing other suspects linked to the incident, noting that the act contravenes Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
According to officials, Archbishop Oyeghe has provided useful statements and will be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
