Cubana Chief Priest proudly boasts of securing N10 million bail: “Money is like water”

Famous internet celebrity Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has broken his silence after a Federal High Court granted him a N10 million bail on Wednesday.

Cubana Chief Priest was arraigned for alleged Naira Abuse but pleaded not guilty in court, and was granted bail.

Unlike his colleague, Bobrisky, who admitted to abusing the Naira in court, Cubana pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge filed by the EFCC on 4 April.

Following the judgment in court, the celebrity appreciated his over 5.1 million Instagram followers for the show of love.

“Seeing all your messages & love, I am so humbled. Now it’s confirmed CP is not small. Money na water,” he captioned his post.
