Socialite Obi Cubana detained by EFCC on allegations of money laundering

Businessman and socialite, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has been detained and interrogated by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

Reports quoting an EFCC official familiar with the development said he is being questioned over allegations of money laundering and tax evasion.
