Olukoyede stated that the probe, which centred on allegations of money laundering, uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing against the cleric.

The EFCC boss made this known while speaking at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award in Abuja.

He said: “Sometimes I wish we could change the terms ‘church’ and ‘mosque’ and instead adopt the idea of an assembly of righteous people filled with the spirit of God.

“In churches, you have bishops, and in mosques, you have imams. I can tell you that many of them are currently in our custody, while several others have been convicted for fraudulent practices. It is quite unfortunate.

“I’m going to embarrass you today. I didn’t initially plan to say this, but it’s my own way of contributing.

“I investigated Pastor Jerry Eze for six months over alleged money laundering. We act based on intelligence and petitions.

“There was an account receiving large inflows of dollars and pounds from countries such as Colombia, the United States, Sri Lanka, and even Togo. However, after our investigation, we found nothing suspicious.”
