Celebrity socialite and nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest has alleged that his life may be in danger following his recent criticism of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Ben Kalu over the conviction of Nnamdi Kanu.
The entertainer, claimed on Friday that he woke up to find a message allegedly sent to him at 7:08 a.m. by Kalu before being deleted moments later.
He shared a screenshot on social media showing a notification of the supposed message and said the incident left him worried yet brave. According to Cubana Chief Priest, he was “worried,” “scared” and “shivering,” though he insisted he remained “fearless.”
He warned the Deputy Speaker against any attempt to “come for” him, adding that his comments were a call to action rather than a personal attack. He also asserted that he would perform better if he held the deputy speakership.
His remarks follow earlier criticism in which he labelled Kalu “weak” and condemned the life sentence on IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. He had also warned that President Bola Tinubu could lose political support in the South-East ahead of the 2027 elections if Kanu remained detained.
Cubana Chief Priest linked his anger to what he described as the devastating impact of Kanu’s detention on the South-East economy and security.
He said he relocated his family to Lagos due to fear and instability and only recently returned to his village after five years. Upon returning, he said he found his community “in poverty” and noted that many businesses in the region had collapsed.
He urged Ben Kalu to use his position to unite South-East governors, engage ministers, and push for peace in the region, arguing that Kanu’s release would be central to restoring stability.
He maintained that his message was meant as a “wake-up call,” saying, “To whom much is given, much is expected.”As of the time of reporting, Deputy Speaker Ben Kalu had not publicly responded to the allegations or to the entertainer’s claims about the deleted message.
