The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested a socialite, Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, for alleged money laundering.
He is being grilled by the EFCC operatives at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
A source told journalists that the socialite was also accused of tax fraud.
He 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.”
Recall that Cubana hosted a lavish burial ceremony for his late mother in Oba, Anambra State, in July.
The public display of affluence at the event led many to question his source of wealth.
When contacted, the spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was yet to be briefed on the development.
