Night life business man and social media influencer, Cubana Chief Priest has objected to his prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
His counsel Chukosolo Ojukwu informed the court after Cubana Chief Priest was arraigned by the EFCC on Wednesday for alleged Naira abuse that the defendant had filed application opposing the trial.
The defendant has also filed application for bail.
The Daily Crucible reports that the celebrity businessman arrived at the Federal High Court, Lagos, on Wednesday morning, for his arraignment for allegedly abusing the Naira notes.
Although he is opposed to his prosecution by the anti – graft agency but Cubana Chief Priest is facing three-count charges bordering on abuse of Naira notes preferred against him by the EFCC before Justice Kehinde Ogundare.
He was accused of spraying the Naira notes at a social function on February 13, 2024, at Eko Hotel in Lagos.
He was also accused of tampering with funds in the denomination of N500 notes issued by the CBN by spraying the same for two hours.
However, Justice Kehind Ogundare of the Federal High Court in Lagos has granted him N10million bail.
Cubana Chief Priest also pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge filed against him by the EFCC.
