The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reportedly arrested popular socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, for money laundering.
The Anambra-born club owner, reportedly arrived at the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, at about noon on Monday. He was being currently grilled by operatives of the commission, according to reports.
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.
