As previously reported by AIB, the EFCC filed three counts of charges against Chief Priest on April 16 for allegedly altering and spraying Naira during events held at the Eko Hotel on February 13, 2024, in Lagos in January 2024, and at another location in 2020. On April 17, he was afterwards arraigned before Justice Kehinde Ogundare.
Chief Priest entered a not-guilty plea at the court session after the charges were read. Subsequently, he was given N10 million bail, accompanied by two responsible sureties in the same amount, and instructed to fulfil the bail requirements within a week.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
