Socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has relocated his business from the Southeast to Lagos due to rising insecurity concerns in the region.

In a recent interview with BBC Igbo, the celebrity barman revealed that he was forced to leave the southeast because the fear of kidnapping and killing had driven away customers from the East, who previously visited home regularly.

He lamented that the widespread hunger and envy among South Easterners had led to community members providing information to criminals, targeting the wealthy, and driving them away.

He emphasised that this was why he moved to Lagos to conduct his business, citing the need for a safe and secure environment.

According to him: 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. Thats why I moved to Lagos to conduct my business. (The Nation)
