Socialite and Chairman of Cubana group of companies, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana was on Thursday January 13 grilled by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for an alleged link to the illegal narcotic business.

Punch reported that Obi Cubana was grilled for about five hours at the Abuja headquarters of the NDLEA before he was granted bail and asked to return at a future date.

Sources told the publication that suspicious payments were made into Cubana’s account by three convicted drug dealers from Malaysia, Nigeria and India.

It was further gathered that operatives of the NDLEA and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have now widened the probe into Cubana and his business network, based on the premise that he may be involved in the drug business.

The source told the publication;

“Obi Cubana arrived at the NDLEA office around 9am and responded to questions for some hours before he was granted bail at 2pm. 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 that was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos and convicted in 2017, also paid money into Cubana’s account.”

Cubana is reportedly expected to present some documents to NDLEA on their next meeting. When Obi Cubana’s aide, Chioma Nwachukwu was contacted by Punch, she said;

“There is no comment on the matter now.”

The socialite who has been in the nightclub business since 2006, grabbed international headlines last July when he organised a lavish funeral for his mother, Ezinne Iyiegbu, in Oba, Idemili South local government area of Anambra State.

He disclosed how he made his money during an interview with BBC Pidgin months ago. According to him, he came to Abuja for his National Youth Service Corps programme in 1999 and served at the National Assembly.

The 46-year-old said he went into the real estate business where he got a contract to furnish houses. The socialite added that he got a contract with the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company and later ventured into the hospitality sector where he has made billions of naira.

He has since opened branches of Cubana club in about five states including Imo, Lagos, Rivers, Enugu and Abuja.

Some of Obi Cubana’s associates who have also been grilled include Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest; and the Chairman, Five Star Group, Emeka Okonkwo aka E-Money.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has cautioned nightclub operators and fun seekers across Nigeria against the growing trend of organizing and attending “drug parties”, describing the practice as a serious criminal offence under Nigerian law.

The warning follows a major raid conducted by NDLEA operatives at Proxy Night Club, located at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, on the night of Saturday, October 25, into the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025.

According to a statement released on Monday, October 28, by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, over 100 attendees were arrested during the operation, alongside the club owner Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, and his manager Joachin Millary, who are currently in custody.

“Any gathering organized for the purpose of consuming, distributing, or abusing illicit substances is an act of criminality,” Babafemi said. “These ‘drug parties’ contravene the NDLEA Act and will be treated as serious narcotic offences.”

FIRS

The agency disclosed that its operatives had conducted undercover surveillance on the club prior to the raid, including pre-purchases of illicit substances, to confirm reports of ongoing drug transactions.

“For four hours, between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., our operatives observed and recorded drug transactions and abuse before disrupting the brazen display of illegality,” Babafemi added.

NDLEA officials reportedly seized 384.882 kilograms of Canadian Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, along with other narcotic substances from the club’s storage area.

While all attendees were later profiled, counselled, and released, in line with international best practices, the two principal suspects Pretty Mike and his manager remain in NDLEA custody pending further investigation.

The agency reiterated its commitment to enforcing drug laws and urged Nigerians to refrain from attending or promoting drug-related events, warning that anyone found complicit will face prosecution.
