EFCC Debunks claim of snapping with Cubana
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied claims on social media that its staff took a selfie with Cubana Club boss, Obinna Iyiegbu, while he was in custody.
The EFCC said this in a statement on Friday titled, ‘Obi Cubana Did not Take Photo with EFCC Staff’ which was signed by its Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren.
Obi Cubana, who is being investigated for alleged money laundering and tax evasion, spent three days in EFCC custody before his release on Thursday evening.
In a photo which has gone viral on social media, Obi Cubana is seen taking a selfie with some military personnel.
Some of his fans believed the photo was taken in EFCC custody.
Reacting to the controversy, the EFCC said, “The attention of the EFCC has been drawn to fake news trending on social media with the caption, ‘EFCC Crew poses for quick photograph with billionaire socialite and businessman Obi Cubana’.
