Nigerian socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest, known offstage as Pascal Okechukwu, found himself in legal turmoil as he faced charges of banknote abuse.
During his recent court appearance, Chief Priest pleaded not guilty to three counts of the alleged offence, which authorities claim occurred during various social events where he threw money into the air.
The act, commonly referred to as “spraying,” is a customary practice at Nigerian celebrations like weddings.
However, it has garnered legal attention due to concerns about the mishandling of banknotes, which can be trampled upon when they fall to the ground.
