Hellen Ati Calls Out Cubana Chief Priest Amid Paternity Dispute: Send Ticket for DNA Test in Nigeria

Hellen Ati, a Kenyan woman, has publicly challenged Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, known as Cubana Chief Priest, over a lingering paternity dispute. In a recent Instagram video, she urged him to send her a flight ticket to Nigeria for a DNA test on their alleged two-year-old son.

Ati claims the child resulted from a brief encounter with Okechukwu in Lagos in 2022. She has maintained this position for months, repeatedly calling for confirmation through testing.

In her latest post, Ati stated she is still waiting for the ticket. She noted that Okechukwu already has her passport photo and details. "Pascal, I'm still waiting for the ticket... I'm waiting for you to pay ticket for me so that I can come and do DNA," she said.

She expressed frustration over the child's welfare. Earlier statements included references to the boy being sick and her exhaustion with the situation. Ati mentioned court directives that Okechukwu allegedly failed to comply with.

Ati proposed a mutual arrangement for the test. She challenged him to select one hospital while she chooses another. This follows her previous responses to his offers for testing on live television.

Okechukwu has consistently denied fathering the child or even knowing Ati. He has stated the claims aim to damage his reputation and family. In June 2026, he expressed readiness for a DNA test if Ati brings the child to Nigeria, including on live TV.

The dispute has played out extensively on social media. Ati previously reacted to Okechukwu's live TV challenge by saying, "This is what you said last year, yet you ran away." Public reactions remain divided, with some focusing on the child's needs.

Concerns over the boy's well-being have surfaced multiple times. In past videos, Ati appeared overwhelmed, at one point saying she would "frustrate this boy" if Okechukwu did not act. Critics highlighted these moments amid calls for intervention.

The case reflects broader patterns in high-profile paternity scandals involving Nigerian celebrities and international claims. No resolution has been reached despite months of exchanges. Legal and medical verification remain pending.

As of late June 2026, Ati continues pressing for travel support to enable testing in Nigeria. Okechukwu's team has not issued a fresh response to her latest ticket demand.

Observers note that such public disputes often prolong emotional strain on all parties, particularly the child at the center. Both sides maintain their positions without confirmed independent verification yet.
