“Patriotic Igbo” Group Issues Warning to Obi Cubana, Cubana Chief Priest Over Silence on Nnamdi Kanu

A group identifying itself online as “Patriotic Igbo” has sparked controversy after issuing a strongly worded statement criticizing businessman Obi Cubana and nightlife promoter Cubana Chief Priest for allegedly ignoring detained separatist figure Nnamdi Kanu.

In messages circulating on social media, the group accused both celebrities of neglecting what it described as an important regional cause and warned of possible economic and social backlash against their brands and businesses. The statement included threats of boycotts and prohibitions against products and ventures linked to the two public figures.

Neither Obi Cubana nor Cubana Chief Priest has issued an official response to the claims as of the time of reporting.

Observers note that celebrity silence or neutrality on politically sensitive matters often attracts criticism from activist groups, especially in the Southeast, where the case of Nnamdi Kanu remains highly emotional and divisive.

Security analysts and community leaders have urged restraint in public rhetoric, warning that threats and intimidation — whether economic or physical — can inflame tensions and undermine constructive dialogue. They called for disagreements to be expressed peacefully and within the bounds of the law.
