The Federal High Court in Lagos has adjourned the trial of Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, to June 25, 2024.

Okechukwu, a celebrity bartender, faces three counts related to the alleged abuse of Naira notes.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Okechukwu on April 17, 2024, accusing him of spraying and tampering with Naira notes during a social event at Eko Hotel in Lagos.

Okechukwu pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail set at N10 million.

During a previous hearing on May 2, Okechukwu’s defense counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), informed the court that both parties were considering a settlement under Section 14(2) of the EFCC Act, with the possibility of a plea bargain.

The EFCC counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, confirmed this development.

Ojukwu requested a short adjournment to finalize the settlement discussions and withdrew a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction, which the court then dismissed.

“All of us be one” Miss Universe South Africa’s X handle tweets in Nigerian pidgin after Nigerians slammed them for claiming Miss Universe Nigeria Chidinma Adtshina following her successful outing at the Miss Universe.

Recall that Chidinma was vilified by South Africans because her father is Nigerian. They said she’s cannot be a representative of South Africa so she was forced to drop out from representing South Africa.

She ended up representing Nigeeia at the Miss Universe pageant but some South Africans wrote petitions calling for her to be disqualified.

In spite of the vilification, Chidinma Adetshina is now Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after emerging first-runner up at the beauty contest which held in Mexico.
