Popular socialite and nightlife promoter, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest has revealed that the insecurity in the southeast made him move his business to Lagos.
Cubana added that concerns about kidnappings and violence were major factors deterring customers from the southeast.
Speaking during a recent interview with BBC Igbo, Cubana said, “Why I came to Lagos to do business is that most of our siblings are scared to go home… cause if they come home, I will do my business.
“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 is why I moved to Lagos to conduct my business.”
It will be recalled that Cubana Chief Priest is facing a legal issue for alleged abuse of the naira and a Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday recently adjourned the case against him until June 25.
