Speaking on his arrest, Cubana Chief Priest commended the EFCC, considering its premises as a “big man location” and even going as far as calling it a “status symbol”. He further stated that there was no need for individuals to run away when summoned by the EFCC, as the agency treats everyone with respect during the investigation and prosecution process.
“They don’t bite, they don’t beat,” Cubana Chief Priest remarked. “In their cell, there is a bed, toilet, and bathroom. They even serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner”, he said.
Cubana Chief Priest’s unexpected praise for the EFCC has raised eyebrows among his followers and the general public. The socialite, known for his extravagant lifestyle and association with celebrities, was recently arrested for his alleged involvement in naira abuse by spraying excessive amounts of currency notes at events and flaunting wealth on social media.
While the motive behind Cubana Chief Priest’s sudden change in attitude remains unclear, it has sparked a debate among Nigerians regarding their perception of the EFCC and whether the agency’s treatment of high-profile individuals differs from ordinary citizens.
As reactions pour in, many have criticized the socialite for seemingly endorsing an agency that is tasked with combating financial crimes, including naira abuse. Critics argue that his comments may perpetuate a double standard in which influential figures receive preferential treatment, leading to a lack of accountability.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are demanding that the EFCC focus on prosecuting and investigating individuals equally, regardless of their social status, in order to ensure justice and prevent the perpetuation of societal inequality.
The arrest of Cubana Chief Priest and his subsequent statements praising the EFCC have certainly sparked a much-needed dialogue about the treatment of high-profile individuals accused of financial crimes. It remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold and whether it will impact the EFCC’s approach to tackling financial wrongdoing in the future.
