The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a three-count charge against popular Instagram celebrity Pascal Okechukwu also known as Cubana Chief Priest for allegedly spraying and tampering with the naira at a social event contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007.
Cubana Chief Priest will be arraigned on Wednesday, April
17th, 2024 before Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court, Lagos.
Nigerianeye obtained a copy of the charge which was filed on
April 4th by EFFC’s prosecutor Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) alongside seven other
lawyers representing the chairman of the Commission.
In Count 1, it was alleged, “that you, Okechukwu Pascal on
13th Feb. 2024, at Eko Hotel, within the jurisdiction of the court, while
dancing during a social event, tampered with funds in the denomination of N500
