Willie Obiano, the former governor of Anambra State, and his wife, Ebelechukwu, have been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
JomogNews earlier reported that the former governor was arrested on Thursday night as he was about to board a flight to Houston, Texas in the United States.
This was after he handed over the governorship of Anambra State to Prof. Charles Soludo.
Obiano was reportedly on the anti-graft agency’s watchlist over allegations of fraud and embezzlement of public funds, though details about his arrest are still sketchy.
The sixty-six years old Willie Obiano spent his first night as former Governor of Anambra State in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
