Nigerians are about to change their way of life and perception of money as the government  wields the big stick on abusers of the Naira. Businessman and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, is the second person in less than two weeks to be arrested  for spraying the naira notes at a social event; something the federal government has declared is a crime by Nigeria law and attracts a jail term of at least six months. Before now, the first to be arrested and jailed was the socialite and cross dresser, Bobrisky. He was found guilty and jailed for six months. He is currently serving his jail term.

Cubana Chief Priest was next on the line. He was recently arrested and has been granted a N10 million bail condition with two sureties in like sum,

he was quoted in a latest Instagram post to have said that he was not small and that” money  na water”  shortly after his arraignment on Wednesday.

“Seeing all your messages and love. I’m so humbled. Now it’s confirmed CP (Cubana Priest) is not small. Money na water (sic),” he wrote.

The celebrity barman pleaded not guilty to tampering and abusing the naira during his trial.

He was arraigned before Justice Kehinde Ogundare on three counts bordering on abuse of naira by allegedly spraying and tampering with the nation’s currency at a social event, contrary to the provisions of the Central Bank Act of 2007.

He also was alleged to have sprayed the naira on February 13, 2024, at Eko Hotel.
