Popular Nigerian influencer and singer, Cubana Chief Priest, has claimed that the Palm Sunday killing in Jos was to embarrass president Bola Tinubu on his birthday.
Cubana made this claim while reacting to the killing of over 40 citizens in the Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba, Jos, Plateau State on March 29 2026.
Newsunplug reports that the incident which happened at about 7:50 pm on Sunday evening reportedly claimed over 40 lives.
Reacting to the incident on Tuesday evening, Cubana Chief Priest, who is also part of the support group for Tinubu’s re-election, noted that the attack was to embarrass the president on his birthday.
While empathising with the victims, he criticised the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang for visiting the community in a Bunker.
He wrote on his Instagram story “I have been cold, in the past few days the video of that woman and her child can’t get out of my head. When will these killings ever stop?
“The Governor in Jos pulled up in a Bunker, does it mean everyone should now pull up in bunkers because he is more scared for his life than the people. To lead a state you have to be fearless and be ready to lay your life for the people.
“I feel for everyone in Jos. This was clearly done to embarrass our president on his birthday”, he said.
Newsunplug reports that the tragic incident occurred on president Tinubu’s 74th birthday.
