The video of former governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano in EFCC detention has surfaced online. The ex-governor has been held on charges of mis-management of public funds to the tune of N42BN.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance has criticized the arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Willie Obiano, the former governor of Anambra State.
The former governor’s arrest was denounced by the party as a “politically driven witch-hunt,” with the EFCC resorting to the employment of fifth columnists.
Obiano was arrested by the anti-graft agency on Thursday night at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, just hours after he was sworn in as governor of Anambra State.
The National Coordinator of the APGA Media Warriors Forum, Evang Chinedu Obigwe, told journalists in Awka on Saturday that the charge that the former governor looted N42 billion, of which N37 billion was used to pay political activities, was unsubstantiated and untrue.
