When Obi Cubana Will Be Released – EFCC

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has said that it would release popular socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana when he has satisfactorily answered his alleged involvement in various illegal deals. The stance of the commission is against earlier reports that he had been granted bail.

Meanwhile, the commission has reportedly confiscated his passport as a way of ensuring that he does not leave the country during the ongoing investigations according to a report in The Punch.

Checks revealed that the anti-graft agency quizzed the Anambra-born social media influencer for the second day on Tuesday at its Abuja, Jabi headquarters.

A source stated, “Obi Cubana has not been released, he is still having quality sessions with investigators over alleged money laundering running into millions of naira and tax fraud.

He will be released when he has satisfactorily responded to all questions relating to his involvement in various illegal deals. As part of investigation, his travel document has been temporarily seized pending the conclusion of investigations.”

The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed that the suspect is still in custody, however, said he has no information on the seizure of his passport.

Meanwhile, the Uyo Zonal Command of the EFCC has arrested 20 suspected internet fraudsters in a sting operation on Tuesday at three different locations in Calabar, Cross River State.
