The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, arraign a businessman and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, before the Federal High Court in Lagos over allegation of abusing the Naira currency.
This comes less than a week after Idris Okuneye, celebrity crossdresser, was jailed for naira abuse.
Dele Oyewale, spokesman of the EFCC, had acknowledged the videos, saying the commission was on the trail of some other celebrities.
“Increasingly, members of the public are drawing the attention of the commission to video recordings of abuse of the Naira by Nigerians from all walks of life.
“These gestures amply demonstrate the rising consciousness of the public to the sanctity of our national currency and the need for collaborative engagement to sustain the tempo.
“The commission will always investigate and prosecute anyone involved in the abuse of the Naira,” he said.
It was gathered that Cubana Chief Priest will be arraigned before Justice Kehinde Ogundare on a three-count charge of spraying and tampering with the Naira notes at a social event contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007.
