Celebrity barman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has revealed that the insecurity in the Southeast forced him to relocate his business to Lagos State.
He disclosed this in a recent interview with BBC Igbo.
The socialite lamented that the fear of kidnapping and killing had driven away customers from the East, who previously visited home regularly.
He said: “There is widespread hunger in the South-East. It is our own community members who provide criminals with information.
“Our people began targeting the wealthy, so the wealthy stopped returning home during festivities. That’s why I moved to Lagos to conduct my business.”
Known for his lavish lifestyle, exuberant personality, and ostentatious displays of wealth, Cubana Chief Priest is a Nigerian celebrity barman, and entrepreneur associated with the nightlife scene.
Following Bobrisky’s arrest, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Cubana Chief Priest on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. He was arraigned on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.
The Federal High Court in Lagos State consequently granted the businessman and socialite N10m bail with two sureties in like sum.
