Popular Nigerian socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has refuted claims by a Kenyan woman, Helen, who alleges he is the father of her child.
Cubana Chief Priest described the accusations as a deliberate attempt to ruin his marriage.
Helen has accused the businessman of abandoning her and their alleged son, claims that Cubana Chief Priest has consistently denied.
Speaking on Rubbin’ Minds, a programme on Channels Television, on Sunday, he maintained that he does not know the woman and that the child is not his.
“Children are gift from God regardless of how they come, and I have more than enough to take care of my children as many as possible that will come my way,” Chief Priest said during the interview.
“I have a beautiful marriage; this is the best thing that has ever happened to me and if you watch the whole attack, it is on the marriage,” he added.
When asked if he would accept the child if proven to be his, Chief Priest replied, “Of course,” but noted that he would only consent to a paternity test under fair circumstances. “You cannot bash me this hard and expect my loyalty,” he said.
The Imo State-born entrepreneur explained that the allegations have not impacted his marriage, emphasizing the strong bond he shares with his wife. “We are beyond husband and wife but business partners and associates that are inseparable,” he said.
According to him, the saga has been ongoing for some time, and the timing of the accusations raises suspicion. “The woman is always popping up every time I have an issue that goes viral, which shows that she has an ulterior motive rather than genuinely looking for the father of her child,” Cubana Chief Priest stated.
He reiterated his commitment to his family and dismissed the allegations as baseless.
