Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court in Lagos has granted bail to businessman and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, facing allegations of abusing the Naira.
Justice Ogundare admitted him to bail after he pleaded not guilty to a three-count charge of allegedly spraying and tampering with the Naira notes at a social event contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The judge ordered him to produce two sureties in like sum.
The incident reportedly occurred on February 13, 2024, at the Eko Hotel.
The Cubana Chief Priest was said to have also committed the offences while dancing during a social event.
He was said to have tampered with funds in the denomination of N500 notes issued by the CBN by spraying the same for two hours.
