In a surprising turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and renowned celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, have reached an agreement to settle out of court regarding the contentious naira abuse case.
The socialite, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, had been embroiled in legal turmoil after the EFCC levied accusations of naira abuse against him, prompting a legal battle that garnered widespread attention.
The saga began when the EFCC filed charges against Cubana Chief Priest, alleging violations related to the misuse of the national currency. Despite the gravity of the accusations, Cubana Chief Priest was granted bail set at ₦10 million, allowing him temporary reprieve from the legal onslaught.
However, recent developments indicate a shift in the trajectory of the case, as both parties have opted for an out-of-court settlement. While the specific terms of the settlement remain undisclosed, this resolution marks a departure from the protracted courtroom drama that has gripped the public consciousness in recent weeks.
The decision to settle out of court suggests a willingness on both sides to avoid prolonged litigation and potentially protracted legal battles.
