Cubana Chief Priest,Naira Abuse

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday struck out a charge against celebrity bartender, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, over alleged abuse of the naira. Justice Kehinde Ogundare struck out the charge following the adoption of terms of settlement between parties to the suit.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had on April 17, arraigned Okechukwu on a three-count charge of allegedly spraying and tampering with the Naira notes during a social event at Eko Hotel in Lagos. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail in the sum of N10 million. At the last adjourned date on May 2, the Defence Counsel, Mr Chikaosolu Ojukwu , informed the court.

He thanked the court for its indulgence adding that part of the obligations contained in the said terms had been performed. He urged the court to make the consequential orders of dismissing the case. In a short ruling, the court held that: “Upon the agreement of the prosecution and defence pursuant to the EFCC Establishment Act, the agreement having been presented to the court, this charge is hereby struck out as the defendant is hereby cautioned,” he said.
