The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has disclosed that the agency conducted a six-month investigation into alleged money laundering involving Jerry Eze, ultimately finding no evidence of wrongdoing.
Olukoyede made this known on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, while speaking at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award Ceremony in Abuja. According to him, the investigation was triggered by intelligence reports and petitions citing “unusual inflows” of foreign currencies—particularly dollars and pounds—into the cleric’s domiciliary account.
He described the inflows as funds “dropping like raindrops” from multiple countries, including Colombia, the United States, Sri Lanka, and Togo, prompting the anti-graft agency to carry out a detailed review of the pastor’s financial records and activities.
Following a comprehensive audit and direct engagement with the cleric, Olukoyede stated that the EFCC found the funds to be linked to legitimate ministry operations and humanitarian interventions. He affirmed that the investigation established no criminal conduct.
The EFCC chairman further commended Pastor Eze’s integrity, publicly declaring that the cleric has been cleared of all allegations. The announcement brings closure to months of scrutiny surrounding the source and nature of the international donations tied to his ministry.
