Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has revealed how he spent six months looking into Jerry Eze, the convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers (NSPPD) and the head pastor of Streams of Joy International.

Olukoyede further revealed that Eze was not found guilty of money laundering despite the EFCC’s investigation.

The head of the anti-graft agency gave a speech at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award in Abuja.

He said: “Sometimes I wish we change the word church and mosque, while we adopt the phrase of an assembly of righteous people who have the spirit of God, rather than using a church.

He also said, “In church you have bishops and in mosques you have Imams and I tell you that I have a lot of them in my holding facility as I talk to you and I have a lot of them that are convicted for fraudulent practices, it’s so sad.

“I’m going to embarrass you today, I never felt like saying it but that is my little way of making my contribution.

“I investigated Pastor Jerry Eze for six months for alleged money laundering. We work by intelligence and petitions.

Additionally, he added that “There was an account where dollars and pounds were dropping like rain drops from Colombia, America, Sri Lanka, and even Togo. We investigated him but found nothing suspicious.”
