Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chief Priest, a Nigerian socialite, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on charges of money laundering and tax fraud.
He was arrested at the Lagos airport on Thursday, but anti-graft officers kept quiet about it due to pressure from his acquaintances and family, who warned the affair could jeopardize the lives of others suspected of being involved in the alleged racket.
Mr Okechukwu's detention has made it impossible for him to respond to birthday congratulations from his nearly four million Instagram followers, and he is only allowed to see his wife while in custody.
Because of the amount of information officials were able to wrest from him as of Saturday night, it was unclear when he would be allowed bond.
