According to Punch.ng, the Anambra-born club owner, arrived the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, at about noon on Monday November 1,2021 and was interrogated by operatives of the commission.
Though allegations against the socialite were sketchy as of press time, a source disclosed that his case borders on alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
The source said, “Obi Cubana was arrested and brought to the EFCC headquarters on Monday afternoon over allegations of money laundering and tax fraud. He is being grilled by detectives as we speak.”
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said he has yet to be briefed on the development.
The lavish display of wealth set tongues wagging with many Nigerians wondering about his source of wealth.....
Hmmmm!!!
ReplyDeleteEfcc will look for something to nail this man even if he may be into clean money. It is always good to lay low no matter the wealth you have cos some bad bele people will just not rest till they fulfil thier wickedness
ReplyDeleteThe plan is to corece him into joining APC. I said it few months ago and it's playing out. I wish I can get that comment where I stated what's happening today.
DeleteIf na me, I go tell them na Money Rituals my papa do. Make them go him grave go investigate am. Inukwa Efcc. Has tailor answer FBI yet?
DeleteTeejay, wetin concern this one with APC now? Na wa for you oh
DeleteTeejay, say what you know. Stop lying. Obi is not a politician. They cannot force someone to join politics.
DeleteTeejay may be saying the truth. If he is guilty of the things they accused him of, they may blackmail him to Join politics in exchange for being discharged and acquitted. He may want to preserve his good name
DeleteI know he will be in trouble after reigning
ReplyDeleteI expected this after the whole burial doings,hope he comes to equity with clean hands
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a surprise. When will they go for Jagaban? Ishhh!
ReplyDeleteThey can't he is a saint.
DeleteNot until Buhari or apc stops ruling. Forget it!
DeleteYou nailed it Cynthia. Let them go after Jagaban too.
DeleteYou de mind the morons?
DeleteI saw it coming. I knew they will go for him. I'm not against EFCC investigating anyone but why don't we get to see or read politicians being arrested or grilled this way. If He's guilty, then let him answer for it and again the fight against corruption shouldn't be a tribal thing. We hardly see EFCC flex muscles when it's someone from the northern region. Just recently, we are reading plans are underway to reinstate the police tailor contractor back to his office even when it's glaring that FBI indicted hum with solid evidence. The same way for the past five years we haven't seen any Boko Haram or bandits/herdsmen being prosecuted in any law court through out Nigeria whereas thousands of Igbo youths are languishing in jails awaiting trials. With this, some idiots will still open the gutter they called mouth to talk about one Nigeria. Let Nigeria misfortune befall them and their household.
ReplyDeleteWhich one is, "his source of wealth" biko kwanu? Have they asked me my source of poverty, abi dem no see how tins cost and common man crying. Abeg make dem leave that side,I know it's just bcos na Igbo man. Abba Kyari still dey him house despite being invited by the FBI, and I have loads of Hausa videos lavishly spending more money, just that Cubana own went viral
ReplyDeleteMake nobody come yarn dust under me ooo, I dey vex and will not allow you breeeeeeeeeeeeaathee as usual. Na choke I go choke u till they kingdom come.
When we start questioning people's source of money in this country ,then we will do better as a nation. Just make the mistake of saying "how did he or she even come about her money" , attack from left right and centre. "hater, vanity crew, assistant Jesus ,poverty mentality, go and make your own money will be thrown at you from every corner. It's a pity we worship money and materials things so much so that we do no longer care how the money was made.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 08:46, thank you! This is not haters blahs blah... In the abroad, if your wealth does not match your income and other investments, you will be investigated. This is why they are far far ahead of Africa. Before Nigeria can move ahead we individual need to check our self for greedyness, corruption etc.... Before we think about the government too.
DeleteBut why the selective investigation into wealth? That my issue.real justice has to be seem to be fair and this is not so in nigeria.Depending on where you are from? That's selective justice!
DeleteQuestion the source of wealth should be a general idea hung not selective to tribe. When the Arewa kids displayed theirs automobiles during the last sallah in Abuja, did anyone come out to interrogate and question them 😒😏 People and double standards.
DeleteThank you anons.
DeleteVarey B you hit the nail on the head. It should not be selective investigation. Let the rule apply to everyone. If your source of wealth doesn’t match your legitimate income and investments, then you should be investigated regardless of who you are or where you are from. I believe that is what most people have a problem with.
DeleteThey just delayed to come for him,it was expected.
ReplyDeletePele o Obi.. See what your sudden display of wealth has caused you..used to admire your low key lifestyle then
ReplyDeleteWhich wealth was displayed,have you ever seen him show off wads of money or show off material things? He trended during his mum's burial because people turned up for him for the kindness he has shown towards them...Who won't do good for someone that did good for them..
DeleteYour admiration of him doesn't affect his wealth so get going.
DeleteAnon 09:18 sha don’t mind them. They know he didn’t display anything but the hatred within has made them to keep repeating that lie so much it now sounds true to their ears. It is well sha.
DeleteI said it earlier that effcc will pay him a visit
ReplyDeleteNot new to me....
ReplyDeleteIt's good to always lie low and not display wealth and riches. On the contrary, I don't know if he could have done otherwise by having a low profile considering the type of business he's into.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, our big time thieves (polithiefians) go scot-free. Their radar only goes to perceived enemies and once they cross to their party, their sins are forgiven (FFK and co comes to mind).
I wish Obi Cubana well and hopefully, his hands are clean too.
Scot free?
DeleteNever
With the way they displayed during his mother's burial and the fact his from the east not the north, I knew it was just a matter of time . I feel for him to have displayed and allow the display of wealth during that time either means two things. Either 1;he has clean money OR 2;he is laundering money for very powerful pple and nothing will eventually happen.na today?
ReplyDeleteFinally.
ReplyDeleteFinally what? ode
DeleteAnon 9:30, na you be the real ode
DeleteEFCC want part of the burial money..
ReplyDeleteTruth is Obi,is not that rich ooo
Cubana group consists more of people that invested...
You will bring a certain amount of money to invest in Cubana group then get percentage monthly..
Cubana is not his alone..he has so many partners and investors..
All those burial money are gathered from his friends!..
This is a business gone wrong with someone!...
Trust me,Obi's money is clean..
EFCC leave Obi alone!..
@Q&B
DeleteTrust you?
No, no, no,
Rather trust a grenade than you.
Hahahahahahah
DeleteAnon zukwanuike!!!
But she's saying the truth he's not as wealthy as they're portraying him to be.
DeleteSame thing they did to Emoney..
ReplyDeleteEven to Innoson and Ibeto.
DeleteExactly Teejay
DeleteIke g’agwu ha.
DeleteIke agwugo fa agwu..
Delete"Ugbana ka etere unyi, ochakaria nke ochafolu"..
The sun will always and continue to rise from the East no matter how hard they try to cripple our illustrious young men.
DeleteNigerians worship money no matter how it is made.
ReplyDeleteEven a blind man knows that this man isn't earning monies from working.
I will look at it this way: The Anambra elections are coming up this Saturday. Could it be he is on the way of certain power players that want to do the doables towards this election? More drama unfolding as the Anambra elections are coming close...
ReplyDeleteAnyway the invitation that does not mean that he did what they are accusing him of, he should just clear his name...However I will advise that he tones down his show of affluence on social media and stop being everywhere at the same time...He needs to be very very careful....
That's another angle.
DeleteYusuf Buhari a jobless youth shared iPhone 13s and the latest iPads on his lavish and very expensive wedding day.
ReplyDeleteNo said anything to his father who is championing "anti corruption" slogan.
The man recieved 200 cows from his friends for his generosity to them and others he is now under EFCC radar.
😐
Which iPhone 13s? When did iPhone 13 come out? He shared 12 o.
DeleteAnon 9:52; he sha shared the latest iPhone as at the time of his wedding!which work is he doing that can make him do such?
DeleteSocial media making work easy for investigators. Unu stay dere following up with social media and posting everything. Unu continue let fake followers boost unu head. If efcc can't catch you in the morning they will sure catch you in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI knew it would get to this. Like Jimi Disu said on air this morning, I hope it's not connected to the forth coming elections in Anambra..just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave efcc finished investigating the politicians in the country? Nobody is saying anything about Kyari "the tailor" mccvvvhhwwweeeesss.
ReplyDeleteFor having 46 friends or for being gifted 46 cows? That's to show you how inefficient EFCC intelligence is.
ReplyDeleteI knew they will come for him..
ReplyDeleteConsequences of displaying wealth on social media....
ReplyDeleteWhich wealth was displayed..
Delete"Ife agba n'aka.. anaghi enyo ya enyo"
Ndi aguu! Awon hungry misplaced priority bigots. Where did you people see him laundring money, gbo umu ekwensu? You people will leave the actual criminals and go after the genuinely hard working peeps with a known source of income.
ReplyDeleteThey did the same to Emoney,they invited,investigated and re-investigated Emoney,and still found nothing,so there's nothing to fret about if your hands are clean.
ReplyDeleteDid they really find nothing or were they bribed? Just like they “found nothing” on mompha too. As for hushpuppy they never invited him for questioning.
DeleteAt d end of d day,who will investigate Efcc,ndi uchu.
ReplyDeleteAda ohafia
The country Nigeria wasn’t built or founded for young people to thrive that’s why the moment they do,the govt moves against them.they won’t investigate why someone is broke but will raise their shoulders when he becomes rich.I will keep advising people,if you are able to,pls leave Nigeria but don’t leave empty handed.leave with a budding career,handwork,education or just anything you know how to do well.
