The EFCC has refuted claims that the immediate past governor
of Anambra State, Willie Obiano has
been released.
A report emerged on Friday morning claiming that Obiano and his wife,
Ebelechukwe who were quizzed by EFCC officials at the Murtala Mohammad
International Airport in Lagos On Thursday, had been released on bail.
The EFCC spokesman disclosed that Obiano was still in the custody of the
anti-graft agency and is currently being moved to its headquarters in Abuja for
further interrogation.
“He has not been released. it’s fake news. He is in our custody and is
currently being moved to Abuja”, the EFCC spokesman said.
He said the EFCC had requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to
provide information on the former governor’s movement out of the country from
airports, or other points of exit from the country.
