JUST IN: EFCC Arrests Cubana Chief Priest
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested popular Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chief Priest on charges bordering on money laundering and tax fraud.
TRIXX NG recall that Okechukwu was recently appointed as the Special Adviser on Social media and social events management to the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.
It gathered that he was arrested at the Lagos airport on Thursday, but anti-graft officials hushed the development amidst pressure from his associates and family, who said the matter could complicate conditions for others likely connected to the alleged racket.
A further report revealed that EFCC only permitted his wife to see him.
It was not immediately clear when he would be granted bail or the level of information officials had been able to squeeze from him as of Saturday night.
“The matter is still under investigation,” a source said anonymously. His arrest came weeks after another socialite Obi Cubana was arrested by the anti-narcotics agency NDLEA.
