Celebrity socialist, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu better known as Cubana Chief Priest and the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) would be settling out of case over allegations of Naira abuse.
Glamsquad reported in April that Chief Priest was arraigned by the EFCC for Naira mutilation amongst other charges. He appeared before Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the Federal High Court, Lagos, and pleaded not guilty to the accusations of Naira abuse. The celebrity barman was granted bail of N10 million.
After his release, Cubana shared a photo of himself and expressed gratitude to those who had checked on him. He boasted about his fame, claiming that money flows like water. Celebrities such as Davido, Mercy Eke, IK Ogbonna, Isreal DMW, and others left supportive messages for him.
According to reports online, Cubana Chief Priest and the EFCC will settle out of court. The court would hear the settlement report on the 5th of June, 2024.
Following his release on bail, Cubana had adopted a new system of spraying money.
In a viral video, he attended a wedding ceremony and avoided spraying money at the party. Improvising, Cubana had made a transfer.

He questioned the logic behind people fleeing, emphasizing the futility of running indefinitely. He also suggested that being summoned by the EFCC could even be seen as a status symbol for influential individuals.
