Chairman of Cubana Group, Chief Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana has debunked collecting revenues for the Anambra State Government.
Various audio and written messages had earlier surfaced on social media claiming that Obi Cubana had been contracted by the Anambra State Government to collect revenues for road traffic violations on its behalf.
However, in a swift reaction, the popular socialite and businessman disclosed that neither himself nor his companies have businesses with the Anambra State Government.
In a statement on Friday, Chief Iyiegbu stressed that he has never expressed interest in, bidded for, accepted or has any intention of bidding for or accepting any contract from the State Government to collect revenue or apprehend road traffic violators.
The statement reads: “My attention has been drawn to various audio and written messages circulating on different social media platforms claiming that I, Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana) and the Cubana Group of Companies have been contracted by the Anambra State Government to collect revenues for road traffic violations on its behalf.
“This story is false and fabricated by mischief makers.
“I emphatically state that neither I, Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana) nor the Cubana Group of Companies or any company I am interested in or related to, has ever, expressed interest in, bidded for, accepted or has any intention of bidding for or accepting any contract to collect revenue or apprehend road traffic violators from Anambra State Government or any government whatsoever.
“We have no such interest and never will.
“I urge all those spreading this malicious information to forthwith cease and desist from it as I may be compelled to take legal action against peddlers of this offensive publication”.
