Days after crossdresser Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison for abusing the Naira, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign socialite Cubana Chief Priest for the same offense.
According to a report by Channel Television, the EFCC has filed a three-count charge against Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu. The charges relate to allegations of spraying and tampering with the Naira at a social event, which is contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007.
The report states that Cubana Chief Priest is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, April 17, before Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
