EFCC prevents Obiano from escaping to US
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano is now in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) hours after handing over power to his successor, Prof. Charles Soludo on Thursday.

Obiano was arrested by operatives of the EFCC at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, while trying to board a flight to the United States, according to the PUNCH.

Recall that the commission had in a letter to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service dated November 15, 2021, asked immigration to place Obiano on a watch list and inform it anytime he is travelling out of the country from any of the International airports and other points of entry and exit.

The Commissioner for Information in Anambra, Don Adinuba, had, however, dared the EFCC, insisting that his boss would return to the US – his original base – after leaving office.

However, barely hours after exiting office, it was learnt that Obiano made his way to Lagos after which he proceeded to the international airport.

On sighting him at 8.30pm, immigration officers were said to have alerted the EFCC who immediately arrested him and took him to their office.

When contacted on the telephone, the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the former governors’ arrest, promising to provide more details later.

“It is true. He was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport around 8.30 pm,” said Uwujaren.
