Cubana Chief Priest Arrives Lagos Court For Trail by HarmonyIfeanyi: 10:05am On Apr 17
Popular socialite and celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, arrived at a Lagos court today for his trial over the alleged mutilation of naira notes at a recent event. The flamboyant businessman, whose real name is Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, was seen entering the court premises surrounded by his legal team and a throng of supporters.

The trial stems from an incident that occurred at a lavish party hosted by Cubana Chief Priest at a popular nightclub in Lagos last month. During the event, videos surfaced on social media showing the socialite and his guests spraying and stamping on bundles of naira notes, which is a violation of the Central Bank of Nigeria's currency laws.

The videos quickly went viral, sparking outrage among Nigerians who condemned the act as disrespectful and wasteful. The Central Bank of Nigeria also issued a statement denouncing the behavior and vowing to take action against those involved in the incident.

Cubana Chief Priest was subsequently arrested and charged with mutilation of currency, a criminal offense punishable by a fine or imprisonment under Nigerian law. The socialite has maintained his innocence, claiming that the money used at the event was fake and part of a performance art piece.

As he made his way into the courtroom, Cubana Chief Priest was met with a mix of supporters and onlookers, some of whom held signs in solidarity with the embattled businessman. The socialite appeared calm and composed as he entered the courtroom, dressed in a sharp suit and flanked by his legal team.

Inside the courtroom, the trial proceedings began with the prosecution presenting evidence against Cubana Chief Priest, including the viral videos and witness testimonies. The socialite's legal team countered with arguments that the money used at the event was fake and that no actual currency was destroyed.

The judge presiding over the case listened attentively to both sides before adjourning the trial to a later date to allow for further deliberation. Cubana Chief Priest was granted bail pending the outcome of the trial, with the judge warning him to refrain from engaging in any similar behavior in the future.

Outside the courtroom, supporters of Cubana Chief Priest expressed their unwavering support for the socialite, praising him for his philanthropic efforts and contributions to the community. Many argued that the charges against him were unjust and that he was being unfairly targeted by the authorities.

As the trial continues, all eyes will be on Cubana Chief Priest and the outcome of the case. The socialite's reputation and future hang in the balance as he faces the consequences of his actions at the ill-fated event. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
