The interrogation of socialite and businessman, Obinna
Iyiegbu aka Obi Cabana, entered the third day, on Wednesday, without any hint
of when he would perfect his bail and leave the anti-graft agency in Abuja.
An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, confirmed that the businessman was still being grilled and that his release
was hinged on his ability to perfect his bail conditions.
The official did now, however, give details of what the
businessman was expected to do to satisfy the bail conditions.
“There are many things for which the businessman is being
interrogated and until he meets the conditions for his bail, the interrogation
would continue,” the official said, without explaining what the issues linked
to Cubana are.
But among the likely charges are those bordering on abuse of
the Naira, tax fraud and money laundering based on what the source called
‘verified business transactions’.
It will be recalled that the EFCC had, on Monday, invited
the businessman to its head office to answer questions on sundry issues.
The agency merely classified the issues as tax fraud and
money laundering but declined to give specifics.
It will also be recalled that Obi Cubana came to the
spotlight following the flamboyant burial he and his followers staged for his
late mother earlier this year.
It is not clear if the invitation by the EFCC to Cubana is
related to the way local and hard currencies were sprayed during the obsequies
of his mother.
Or whether there are other issues related to his questioning
by the operatives of the anti-graft agency.
