Obinna Iyiegbu, also known as Obi Cubana was on Monday interrogated by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged money laundering.
Obi Cubana became a sensational icon in July, 2021 when he hosted the burial of his late mother in Oba, Anambra State, in which over 200 cows were reportedly killed.
The lavish display of wealth at the burial had made many Nigerians to wonder about his source of wealth.
Though allegations against the socialite remained sketchy, a source hinted that his case bordered on alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
“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 source hinted.
