EFCC Arrests Obi Cubana For Money Laundering, Tax Fraud by vicdom(m): 10:28pm On Nov 01, 2021
Popular socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for money laundering.

The Anambra-born club owner, who arrived the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, at about noon on Monday, is currently being interrogated by operatives of the commission.

Though allegations against the socialite were sketchy as of press time, a source disclosed that his case borders on alleged money laundering and tax fraud.

The source said, “Obi Cubana was arrested and brought to the EFCC headquarters on Monday afternoon over allegations of money laundering and tax fraud. He is being grilled by detectives as we speak.”
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said he has yet to be briefed on the development.

Obi Cubana made headlines in July when he hosted an ostentatious burial for his mother in Oba, Anambra State, in which over 200 cows were reportedly killed.

The lavish display of wealth set tongues wagging with many Nigerians wondering about his source of wealth.

Why do Nigeria as a country and Nigerians as people feel so uncomfortable and insecure whenever an Igbo man is making wave ?...I seriously don't understand these people and their plans for my Igbo brothers.

Arrest and interrogation before investigation as usual cool

Anyways, if he's wise, he should just "support" the APC candidate in Anambra's upcoming governorship election. We know this is a shake down

Useless organization that won't investigate before arresting, only to make a fool of themselves later.

I wonder if these people don't see how similar institutions in other countries operate! Before them come out arrest you, you don finish be that...

Putting the horse before the cart always (Investigation will start after arrest)
