National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has grilled Obi Iyiegbu, popularly called Obi Cubana.
Gatekeepers News reports that the socialite was grilled over allegations linking him to an illegal narcotics business.
The entrepreneur was grilled on Thursday for about five hours at the Abuja headquarters of the NDLEA before he was granted bail.
Sources in the know of the case revealed that suspicious payments were made into Cubana’s account by three convicted drug dealers from Malaysia, Nigeria, and India.
However, the socialite was allowed to go home to get some documents and return at a later date.
According to reports, the NDLEA and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC) have widened their probe into Obi Cubana and his business based on the premise that he may be involved in illicit drugs business.
Cubana, who has been in the nightclub business since 2006, made headlines globally last July when he organised a massively attended lavish funeral for his mother – Ezinne Iyiegbu, in Oba, Idemili South LGA of Anambra state.
However, NDLEA Spokesman, Femi Babafemi, declined to speak on the matter.
In 2021, Gatekeepers News reported that Cubana was similarly grilled by the EFCC for alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
This comes after NDLEA arrested and detained De General, a skit maker, over drugs found in his Lagos home.
