EFCC Fumes Over Reports Of Obi Cubana Selfie With Staff

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has strongly rebuffed social media claims that billionaire socialite Obi Cubana took a selfie with staff of the commission while he was in detention or even after.

The commission particularly described as fake news a photograph on social media with the  with the caption, “EFCC Crew poses for quick photograph with billionaire socialite and businessman Obi Cubana”.

“The caption is as fake as any fake news can ever be because, at no time during his ongoing investigation, period in custody or release did Obi Cubana pose for photographs with EFCC staff,” the commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said in a statement made available to  GreenWhiteGreen GWG.

“Uncle Deji, a popular security expert using his social media handle, has further debunked the fake news, saying:

 “This post is deliberately misleading, this picture was taken 7th October 2021 during a book launch of Colonel Chukwu Obasi at Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja in which Obi Cubana attended as a guest”.

“Members of the public are strongly advised to ignore the fake news and misleading imputation which has been traced to the social media account of Sabi Radio (sabiradio), which first went to town with the fake news at 1.06 pm on 5 November, 2021. Sabiradio’s watermark is telltale on the photograph.

Warning that the EFCC would take action to address misrepresentations of an Obi Cubana selfie with its staff, he concluded:

“The Commission shall not hesitate to take urgent necessary steps to address this and other fake news seeking to drag EFCC’s hard-won name and professional reputation in the mud.”
