Socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest has debunked reports that he was attacked by gunmen in Imo State.
A blogger had reported he was attacked in Imo. The blogger published a video of a man with the figure of Cubana Chief Priest showing the damage done to his cars by the gunmen.
But the celebrity barman, who was born in Imo, accused the blogger of misleading the public.
“Rubbish information from @instablogoja shit never happened in Imo, stop misleading the society with unverified information,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday.
In another post, he confirmed the incident happened in Anambra.
He said, “God Did!!! The marathon continues, all my people are safe & sound. Sh*t never happened here in Imo. It happened in Anambra on my way to work in Asaba.”
Cubana Chief Priest and his former boss Obi Cubana shook the nation in July 2021 when the latter assembled entertainers, politicians, businessmen and women, friends, associates and relatives in Oba, Anambra State to bury his mum.
