EFCC Clears Pastor Jerry Eze of Money Laundering Claims

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), led by Chairman Ola Olukoyede, investigated Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder of Stream of Joy International, over allegations of money laundering. This investigation was prompted by intelligence reports regarding unusual foreign currency inflows into Eze's domiciliary account.

Over the past six months, the EFCC observed multiple inflows of foreign currency from different countries, which warranted further scrutiny. During the investigation, the EFCC reviewed financial records and interrogated the cleric.

Ultimately, they found no evidence linking Pastor Eze to any financial crime. Olukoyede stated that the investigation was an opportunity to verify the source of the funds, which were later confirmed.

He emphasized that the EFCC would continue to ensure thorough investigations into sensitive financial crime allegations.
