Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chiefpriest, has cried out to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the recent killings in Benue state.

After about 200 people were killed in Yelewata, Benue state, between July 13 and July 14, 2025, many Nigerian celebrities took to social media to cry out, including Cubana Chiefpriest.

Despite being highly criticised over his recent visit to President Tinubu and kneeling to greet him in Abuja, the self-styled celebrity barman took to his Instagram page to heavily condemn the tragedy in Benue.

Chiefpriest advised President Tinubu on some of the steps to take, including putting an end to public grazing. According to him, the level of damage that was done was brutal, and herdsmen need to start feeding their cattle in ranches.

Not stopping there, Cubana Chiefpriest encouraged the people of Benue to fight back whenever they are under attack. According to him, self-defence is not a crime.

In his words:

“My President🇳🇬 Make That Order Now !!! End Public Grazing, The Level Of Damage Done Is Brutal. These Madness Has To Stop. Feed Your Cattle In Your Ranches. Benue People Sharpen Your Sword⚔️ No Gree For Anybody To Kpai You, To Defend Yourselves No Be Crime !!!”
