Nigerian socialite and businessman, Obi Iyiegbu aka Obi Cubana, on Thursday, January 13, visited the headquarters of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and spent about four hours.
Vanguard reports that he was said to have arrived at the NDLEA premises at about 9 am based on an invitation over some foreign transactions involving payments and transfer of huge foreign currencies that needed clarifications but was allowed to go home at about 1.30 pm.
A source disclosed that for the NDLEA to invite such a notable businessman and ‘interact’ with him for long there may be the likelihood of certain allegations.
On a report that the invite may not be unconnected to suspicion of financial dealings with some convicted drug dealers in the past, the source said, he doesn’t know.
There are reports that suspicious payments were made into Cubana’s account by three convicted drug dealers from Malaysia, Nigeria, and India and this may be some of the reasons behind his invitation.
The report claimed that some payments paid into Cubana’s account were traced to accounts of persons convicted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while the third one was convicted in New Delhi, India.
