The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reportedly
confiscated the passport of a popular socialite and businessman, Obinna
Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, who was arrested on Monday for alleged money
laundering and tax fraud.
It was gathered that the seizure of his travel document was
to prevent him from leaving the country while under investigation.
Checks revealed that the anti-graft agency quizzed the
Anambra-born social media influencer for the second day on Tuesday at its
Abuja, Jabi headquarters.
A source stated, “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 document has been temporarily seized pending the
conclusion of investigations.”
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed that the
suspect is still in custody, however, said he has no information on the seizure
of his passport.
