NDLEA TAKES OBI CUBANA IN FOR QUESTIONING

  The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA on Thursday, 13th January invited socialite, Obi Iyiegbu aka Obi Cubana for his alleged affiliations with the illegal narcotics business. 

  Obi Iyiegbu who is the chairman of the Cubana group of companies, is said to have been in NDLEA custody for about five hours at the Abuja headquarters before he was granted bail to return at a future agreed date.

  It is gathered that Obi Cubana was invited for questioning after a line of suspicious payments to the socialite's account by three convicted drug dealers from Malaysia, India and Nigeria were discovered by the NDLEA.

  The Cubana group of companies and her CEO are now being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the NDLEA for alleged connections in the drug business.

  A reliable anonymous source said "Obi Cubana arrived at the NDLEA office around 9am and responded to questions for some hours before he was granted bail at 2pm. There are suspicions that he may be a drug kingpin. Some convicted drug dealers paid funds into his account. We have been able to establish three of such payments. One of the persons that paid money into his account was convicted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; another one that was convicted in New Delhi, India; also paid money into his account while a third person that was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and convicted in 2017, also paid money into Cubana’s account".

  The socialite was later allowed to go home in order to find some documents requested by the NDLEA.
