Photos: Two strange old friends, Obi Cubana, Abba Kyari, exchange banters at IGP’s son wedding

The wedding Fatiha of Maina Alkali, son of the Inspector-General of Police, Baba Alkali, held on Saturday, brought together two strange old friends, Obinna Iyiegbu, socialite and businessman known as Obi Cubana, and Abba Kyari, former head of the Intelligence Response Team of the IGP.

Obi Cubana and Abba Kyari were seen posing for photographs. They also exchanged banters.

The wedding held at the palace of the Shehu of Borno, HRH Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai El-Kanemi, also had in attendance Senate President Ahmad Lawan; Senator Kashim Shettima, former governor of Borno; Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika; Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, among other dignitaries.

The last time Obi Cubana and Abba Kyari were publicly seen together was in Oba, Anambra State.

Obi Cubana had then organised a talk of the town burial for his mother in July 2021 and invited the super cop, Kyari, as one of the guests.

Both men have been in the eye of the storm after the burial.

While Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, was suspended from the force after an indictment by the FBI, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detained Obi Cubana for days over alleged money laundering.

He was subsequently picked up by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) over alleged ties to drug barons in Asia.

 

Dressed in northern attire, the socialite mingled with the high and mighty in the society.

 

Kyari, who hails from Borno, also had fun at the event.
