Popular nightlife figure Cubana Chief Priest has reacted to the arrest of his close friend, businessman Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E-Money. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested E-Money on Monday night at his home in the Omole area of Lagos. The E-Money arrest is linked to allegations of Naira abuse and spraying U.S. dollars at a public event, which violates the Foreign Exchange Act.

Cubana Chief Priest took to Instagram on Tuesday to show his support. He praised E-Money’s recent efforts to promote the South-East, especially through his Easter “Homecoming” concert. According to him, E-Money’s growing influence may have triggered the attention of those who want to silence strong voices from the region.
He wrote, “This is a guy who just did everything to push up Southeast with his just concluded Home Coming Concert this Easter. I knew they will come for him because they just saw his strength…”

Cubana Chief Priest also claimed that the arrest is a form of intimidation. He believes that the goal is to weaken E-Money’s resolve. However, he encouraged him to stay strong, adding that these challenges will only make him more powerful. The celebrity barman has faced similar charges in the past but was later cleared after reaching a settlement in court.
Sources within the EFCC say that E-Money was arrested for defacing foreign currency. While the case is still unfolding, Cubana Chief Priest insists that the South-East will not be silenced. He urged people to stay united and strong.
The E-Money arrest continues to spark debate online, as fans and observers await further developments.
