The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has confirmed the arrest of the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano.
Speaking with BBC Pidgin, the Public Relations Officer of the commission, Wilson Uwajaren , who confirmed the arrest said confirmed the arrest said Obiano had been on the watchlist of the anti-graft agency prior to his successor in office.
“Obiano has been on our watchlist for sometime now.”
“He had immunity as a governor and that is why we could not arrest him before now.”
“Today he lost the immunity and was traveling out of the country before we finally arrested him,” Uwajaren added.
Former Governor OBIANO was arrested by the anti-graft agency at about 8:30, Thursday night at the Lagos International Airport, on his way out of the country, few hours after handing over to Charles Soludo as Governor of Anambra State.
