The prominent socialite Cubana Chief Priest is not yet cleared of legal troubles despite posting a N10 million bail, as confirmed by court proceedings.
The bail grant does not absolve him of the charges he faces; it merely allows him temporary freedom until his case is adjudicated.
In a similar case, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently dealt with Bobrisky, another public figure, who unlike Cubana Chief Priest, was unable to meet the bail conditions set by the court.
Cubana Chief Priest managed to secure his release by meeting the steep bail requirements and will continue to appear in court for his ongoing trial.
It is important to note that despite his temporary release, strict conditions accompany his bail. Notably, he is prohibited from engaging in activities such as spraying money, a practice that could lead to the revocation of his bail if not adhered to.
The EFCC’s actions in these high-profile cases highlight the agency’s ongoing efforts to address and create public awareness about the abuse of the Nigerian naira, emphasizing that not even high-profile figures like Cubana Chief Priest are exempt from the law.
