EFCC Investigates Pastor Jerry Eze for Money Laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), under the leadership of Chairman Ola Olukoyede, conducted a six-month investigation into Pastor Jerry Eze, the lead pastor of the Stream Join International, over allegations of money laundering. The probe was initiated based on intelligence reports indicating large inflows of funds in dollars and pounds from countries including Colombia, the United States, Sri Lanka, and Togo.

Despite the extensive investigation, the EFCC found no evidence of wrongdoing against Pastor Eze. Olukoyede stated that the investigation was not initiated by any external party but was a result of the agency's own contributions to the inquiry.

He emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in financial practices, particularly within religious organizations.
