A YouTube video discussing the arrest suggested that the Onuha brothers had been detained in Dubai for allegedly possessing $250,000 worth of cocaine.
While the full truth remained unclear, the narrator stressed that the one undeniable fact was their current detention in a Dubai jail.
Some speculated that the arrest could be a publicity stunt. Still, many found it unlikely, given their strong belief in God and their successful business, Icon Amsterdam, which made over $32 million in 2024.
Others argued that faking such a situation could severely damage their brand, making it an unlikely marketing strategy.
The narrator of the YouTube video also analyzed Samuel Onuha’s social media presence. He noted that Onuha’s last post was five days ago, which raised doubts about the arrest.
Additionally, Onuha’s Instagram pages appeared to be either deleted or inaccessible, further fueling speculation about his situation.
Although the narrator was uncertain about the truth, he believed the brothers were unlikely to be involved in drug smuggling as they were too successful and intelligent to take such a risk.
While Samuel Onuha has not released an official statement, the reports remain unconfirmed.
If the allegations are true, he could face serious legal consequences, including over 20 years in jail.
For now, the world waits for official confirmation on whether these shocking claims are true or not.
