Popular Nigerian businessman and socialite may still be in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A source privy to the real situation disclosed this during an interview with a national newspaper.
The source said that Obi Cubana, who was arrested on Monday over alleged money laundering and tax fraud, was still being held by the anti-graft agency.
According to the source, the popular socialite was still being interrogated and would only be released when he has satisfactory responded to all the allegations against him.
“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 documents has been temporarily seized pending the conclusion of investigations,” the source reportedly said.
This is coming hours after news broke about the release of popular socialite from the custody of the EFCC.
On Tuesday, Instigator PH, an associate of Obi Cubana, who took to his Instagram page, claimed that the popular socialite had been freed.
“Thank u Jesus!! @obi_cubana is free. We gat Jesus!!! Dis Dance is for all my fans. I love u all,” Instigator PH posted.
Since the news of his arrest broke out, the EFCC has been conspicuously silent. The anti-graft agency is yet to issue an official statement on why the popular socialite was arrested.
