Obi Cubana’s arrest will worsen insecurity in Anambra – Nigerians warn EFCC
Nigerians have raised concerns that the recent Obi Cubana’s arrest by EFCC is insensitive at this time and will only worsen Insecurity in Anambra State.
Nigerians who have been sympathizing with Obi Cubana‘s arrest warned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC that the arrest will worsen the security situation in Anambra.
The Anambra-born club owner was taken to the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, Monday afternoon and was interrogated by officers of the agency over alleged money laundering and tax fraud.
Meanwhile, the mixed feeling the report created on social media on Monday night saw concerned Nigerians express concern over the repercussions of the move on the November 6 governorship elections in Anambra State.
Recall that Obi Cubana made headlines and became the talk of the town in July when he hosted an ostentatious burial for his late mother in Oba, Anambra State, in which over 200 cows were reportedly slaughtered.
The lavish display of wealth set tongues wagging, with many Nigerians wondering about Obi Cubana’s source of wealth. Several dignitaries, businessmen and women, including politicians turned out in large numbers for the funeral.
The popular socialite subsequently became a role model to several Nigerian youths, including the Big Brother Naija, BBNaija 2021 winner, Whitemoney who aimed to venture into business with the hope of becoming successful like Obi Cubana.
While speaking with newsmen, an On-Air Personality, OAP in a popular radio station in Abuja, Adeyemo Michael, a.k.a Mr Microphone, said that the arrest is coming at a time when Obi Cubana’s state of origin is already tensed up.
“This is definitely not the right time for this drama. You and I know how the businessman is regarded in Anambra State with millions of supporters in the Southeast. If they fail to release him today, I’m not sure the governorship election will hold. This is definitely not what we are expecting from the federal government right now,” he lamented.
