Popular Nigerian businessman and entertainer Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest has been granted bail following his arrest by the EFCC over Naira abuse.
The celebrity barman who showed up at court today pleaded not guilty to his charges and was granted a bail of N10 million naira.
He had earlier been arrested by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission over spraying, tampering, and abuse of naira notes.
The Federal High Court in Lagos State has now granted the socialite N10 million naira bail with two sureties in like sum.
Recall that popular Influencer Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment over a similar offense.
The verdict passed to both entertainers has sparked a debate online as the majority wondered why the influencer wasn’t granted bail but the businessman was.
