EFCC arrests Obi Cubana for money laundering, tax fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited Nigerian billionaire, Obinna Iyiegbu a.k.a. Obi Cubana.


The famous socialite and entrepreneur is being probed for alleged money laundering and tax fraud.


Obi Cubana got to the EFCC headquarters in Jabi Abuja around noon on Monday.


Wilson Uwujaren, Head of Media told DAILY POST that he was out of the office and could not provide information.


"I cannot comment now, I can only speak tomorrow", he said Monday night.


In July, Obi Cubana dominated social media after the burial of his mother in Afor Uzo, Oba town in Anambra State.


Ex-leader of the Inspector-General's Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, was at the high-octane party. Kyari later described the club owner as a "good friend".


During the Cubana-Kyari public discourse, an activist, Deji Adeyanju questioned the source of Obinna Iyiegbu's wealth.
