The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday evening, released the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on an administrative bail.
An official at the commission, who confirmed the development, reportedly disclosed that Obiano’s “passport was seized by the anti-graft agency as part of his bail conditions.”
The spokesperson for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached for comments as of the time of filing this report.
Obiano was arrested about 8:30pm on March 17 at Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos, hours after he left office and handed over to Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
He was reportedly on his way to the United States of America when he was intercepted and arrested.
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where he was quizzed for days over alleged mismanagement of N5 billion Sure-P money, N37 billion security vote withdrawn in cash, as well as some inflated contracts.
