EFCC Grants Obi Cubana Bail, Trial Not Anytime Soon
Celebrated socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu (aka Obi Cubana), who spent his first night with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in Abuja on Monday, is set for release on administrative bail any moment from now.
A source close to the case, confirmed to Vanguard that the socialite had been granted bail but was yet to perfect the conditions attached to the bail for his release.
“Yes, he has been granted bail but he is yet to meet the conditions for his release,” the official told Vanguard on the phone on Tuesday afternoon.
A top source explained that although the anti-graft agency plans to prosecute Cubana for sundry economic and financial offences, the trial would not commence any time soon.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that despite the quick decision by EFCC to grant Obi Cubana bail, that diverse reactions have trailed the arrest of the socialite. Some have alleged that he became an easy target for the government to show its anti-corruption teeth after failing to nail the economic saboteurs within the government.
His wife, Lush Eby had in a post on social media strongly expressed her solidarity with her husband describing him as a very hardworking man not given in to the temptation of fraud that is the focus of the EFCC.
Various Nigerians have also reported that despite the proclaimed efforts of government to push through policies to better the conditions of the ordinary people that many government polices have been undermined by the corruption within the government itself.
