He said the report is about an attack by hoodlums, adding that it affected the Cubana Club in Enugu.

 

The publisher of a local news medium EverydayNews, Prince Petrus Obi has cried out that Cubana Group is after his life over a report he published.

He said the report is about an attack by hoodlums, adding that it affected the Cubana Club in Enugu.

Obi who addressed a press conference on Friday, in Enugu, alleged that some members of the management of Cubana Group sent him a text message, threatening to teach him a lesson.

The management according to him, also threatened to attack his family.

The text message sent to him, reads: "I give u 24hours to bring down that useless fake post of urs.. u think u are playing wit a small group .. if after 24hrs u will show the court wit evidence ur useless post.. is ur family that will be attacked ..useless jobless man.24hrs and u will know what Cubana group is made of."

Reacting, Obi said he decided to alert the police and other security agencies about the threat to his life.

"I also wish to bring the attention of the state government to this imported threat.

"The language of the text message is very clear and shows the kind of people we are dealing with. What stops a man who is sure of himself from approaching the courts rather than seek self help?

"The person called, threatening fire and brimstone. Next, he decided to send the message. Let's see whether he will kill the entire journalists in Nigeria. I will always stand by the truth. No threat will change the truth."

Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, heads the Cubana Group, a diversified business organisation that has interests in entertainment, real estate, and telecommunications.

The group runs hotels, clubs and restaurants in some Nigerian cities.
