The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign popular influencer and hotelier Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chief Priest over alleged abuse of naira notes.
This was contained in 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.
The arraignment is set for Wednesday as the bar man has been accused of being in contravention of the central bank act of 2007 which deals with spraying and tampering with naira notes.
Cubana Chief Priest will be arraigned on Wednesday, April 17th before Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court, Lagos.
