Nigeria: EFCC Quizzes Socialite Obi Cubana

Popular socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, was on Monday arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The Anambra-born tycoon, who arrived the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi Abuja at about 12pm  is currently being interrogated by operatives of the commission.

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

When contacted, Spokesman of the Commission, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said he was yet to be briefed on the development.

The 46-year-old recently caught media attention and has trended on social media, following the recent lavish burial ceremony of his mother in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
