Obi Cubana
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 operative of the 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.
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 forhis 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.
