EFCC TRANSFERS IMMEDIATE PAST GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE TO ABUJA

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) this morning moved the immediate past Governor of Anambra State Willie Obiano to Abuja following his arrest at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos.

Obiano, who has been on the Commission’s watch list for months, was arrested at about 8.30pm on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States after handing over to his successor, Governor Charles Soludo.

The EFCC had requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform it anytime the Governor is travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.

It is, however, not yet clear why the anti-graft agency placed the governor on a watch list.
