Outrage as NDLEA drills Obi Cubana over alleged drug links
There have been growing outrage as, NDLEA grilled popular socialite Obi Cubana over an alleged link to an illegal narcotic business.
There have been growing outrage as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA grilled popular socialite Obi Cubana over an alleged link to an illegal narcotic business.
According to some reports, Obi Cubana was drilled for over five hours at the Abuja headquarters of the NDLEA but was later released on bail.
However, the interrogation was reportedly related to suspicious payments made into Cubana’s account by three convicted drug dealers from Malaysia, Nigeria and India.
Obi Cubana was allowed to go home in order to bring back some documents on a future date fixed for more questioning.
No doubt, the officers of the NDLEA and EFCC have now widened the probe into Cubana and his business network based on the premise that he may be involved in the drug business.
“Obi Cubana arrived at the NDLEA office around 9 am and responded to questions for some hours before he was granted bail at 2 pm. 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 was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and convicted in 2017, also paid money into Cubana’s account,” a source told The Punch.
See reaction below:
Obi Cubana had a date with EFCC. Now NDLEA invited him as well. In Nigeria, if you’re not among the political class or a kingmaker, then you shud think twice before flaunting your wealth. You must be running from something in Nigeria, either from the police, the army or the EFCC.

Surround yourself with friends who can tell you the truth. Every right thinking person told Obi Cubana during that obscene display of wealth at his mum’s burial that he will make himself a target. Kanayo & Igbo Twitter kept mocking Obi Cubana’s “haters” that it’s poverty talking. https://t.co/gCt6YriooA

All of you saying Obi Cubana made himself a target obviously don’t understand his business, just shut up and leave him to get himself out of the new challenge after all he didn’t call you for help.
