Trouble As Obi Cubana Risks Six Months Jail Term.

The founder of Cubana Nightclub, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly called Obi Cubana, Onyxnewsng reports risks six months in prison after breaching the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) rule during the burial of his mother in Oba, Anambra State.

In one of the videos uploaded by Obi Cubana on his Instagram during the days-long celebration of life for his mother, he is seen spraying naira notes to people around him.

In another video, he is seen dancing on naira notes sprayed on him by guests at his party, while Kanayo O Kanayo and other guests were also captured on video spraying Cubana naira notes.

The act of spraying naira and dancing on the note is an abuse of Nigeria’s currency, and it contravenes Section 21 of the CBN Act 2007, which stipulates six months jail term.
