Nigerian music sensation, Davido, has shown unwavering support for his close friend and celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, amidst swirling allegations of Naira abuse.
Taking to social media, Davido expressed disbelief at the possibility of Cubana Chief Priest facing a six-month jail term over the allegations.
Controversy erupted following a post by Cubana Chief Priest on his Instagram page, where he thanked his followers for their messages of support after reportedly paying a hefty sum of N10 million for alleged naira abuse.
In his post, Cubana Chief Priest hinted at the magnitude of the financial penalty, humorously remarking, “Na water.”
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had earlier arrested and arraigned the prominent businessman in a Nigerian court on charges of naira abuse.
Upon pleading not guilty, Cubana Chief Priest was granted N10 million bail.
The situation drew parallels to a recent case involving online personality Bobrisky, who pleaded guilty to similar charges and was subsequently sentenced to six months in prison.
