EFCC Investigates Pastor Jerry Eze for Money Laundering
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Olukoyede, revealed on Wednesday that Pastor Jerry Eze was under investigation for money laundering. This investigation was initiated following intelligence reports indicating significant inflows of foreign currency into Eze's domiciliary account.
The EFCC's preliminary findings led to the cleric being invited for questioning. Olukoyede emphasized that the commission's role is to monitor financial activities to prevent illicit practices, particularly among religious leaders.
He noted that while the EFCC does not investigate individuals without cause, it remains vigilant against financial crimes. The commission has urged religious institutions to uphold integrity and ensure that places of worship do not serve as covers for fraudulent activities.
Olukoyede's remarks highlight the EFCC's ongoing commitment to addressing financial crimes in Nigeria.
