#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.
Several #celebrities, #business people and #politicians turned out in
large numbers for the #funeral.
