Socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for money laundering.
The Anambra-born club owner, who arrived the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, around noon on Monday, was still at the commission office as of 10.11pm.
Allegations against the socialite were sketchy as of press time, but an inside source disclosed that his case bordered on alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
