The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against popular Instagram celebrity, Cubana Chief Priest, who has been accused of abusing the naira.
Cubana, real name Pascal Okechukwu, is expected to be arraigned today before Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court in Lagos on three charges filed by the EFCC on April. EFCC prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who filed the charges, accused Okechukwu of tampering with N500 notes during various social events.
The scheduled arraignment of the Instagram personality is coming days after the EFCC said many celebrities would soon be prosecuted for naira abuse. The commission said this in a statement on Sunday, days after securing the conviction of popular crossdresser, Bobrisky, jailed for the same crime last Friday.
The Federal High Court in Lagos, on Friday, sentenced Bobrisky to six months in jail without an option of fine for naira abuse.The judge, Abimbola Awogboro, imposed the sentence after the controversial crossdresser pleaded guilty to the alleged offences.
