Reports that socialite Obi Cubana has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been discredited by the anti-graft agency.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, who spoke to PUNCH confirmed that Obi Cubana is still in custody, but said that he had no information on the seizure of his passport.
Recall that Obi Cubana was arrested on Monday, November 1, for alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
There are claims that the EFCC confiscated the passport of the socialite to prevent him from leaving the country while under investigation.
A source in the commission also maintained that he is yet to be released.
“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 source in the commission said
