The anti-graft agency noted that its operatives were on the trail of arresting other suspects, saying their action contravened the provision of Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.

“Archbishop Oyeghe has made useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the EFCC added.
