EFCC Releases Former Anambra Gov, Willie Obiano, Seizes Travel Documents

The former governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano was on Wednesday, released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Obiano’s release follows the meeting of his administrative bail requirements, which the EFCC granted him on Monday.

An official who confirmed the development revealed that Obiano’s “passport was seized by the anti-graft agency as part of his bail conditions.”

Daily Report Nigeria recalls that hours after he handed over to the new governor of the state, Charles Soludo, Obiano was picked up by EFCC operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, while on his way to the US.

He was subsequently transferred to the headquarters of the commission, where he was quizzed for days over alleged mismanagement of N5 billion Sure-P money, N37 billion security vote, withdrawn in cash, as well as some inflated contracts.
