EFCC and Cubana Chief Priest Reach Agreement to Settle Naira Abuse Case Out of Court

In a surprising turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, have come to an agreement to resolve the naira abuse case outside of the courtroom. This development follows the socialite’s earlier arrest and subsequent bail granted in the sum of ₦10 million by the anti-graft agency.

The saga began when the EFCC charged Cubana Chief Priest with naira abuse, sparking a legal battle that has now taken a new direction with both parties opting for an out-of-court settlement. The resolution comes amidst a backdrop of controversy surrounding the EFCC’s crackdown on individuals involved in Naira abuse, with notable cases including that of crossdresser, Bobrisky, who was recently sentenced to a 6-month jail term for similar charges.

This move by the EFCC and Cubana Chief Priest has stirred mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some questioning the commission’s priorities in pursuing cases of Naira abuse while others argue that more significant issues like corruption among high-ranking officials should be the agency’s focus. The debate continues as the EFCC strives to maintain its stance on combating financial crimes and ensuring accountability in Nigeria.
