EFCC Clears Pastor Jerry Eze After Six-Month Money Laundering Probe

April 29, 2026

At the Jerry Eze Foundation's grant ceremony in Abuja, EFCC chair Ola Olukoyede revealed his agency investigated the popular pastor for six months over suspicious dollar and pound inflows from countries like Colombia and the US, but found all funds legitimate from global donors. The foundation had just awarded $720,000 to 250 young entrepreneurs with KPMG's help. Olukoyede praised Eze as a model of integrity amid probes of other religious leaders, though the public disclosure sparked debates over favoritism and tribal bias.
