The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Wednesday evening released a former governor of Anambra State on an administrative bail.
An official at the commission, who confirmed the development disclosed that Obiano’s “passport was seized by the anti-graft agency as part of his bail conditions.”
The immediate past governor, who was nabbed on Thursday at about 8:30pm by the anti-graft agency at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, a few hours after handing over to the current governor, Charles Soludo was given an administrative bail on Wednesday evening.
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where he was quizzed for days over alleged mismanagement of N5 billion Sure-P money, N37 billion security vote, withdrawn in cash, as well as some inflated contracts.
Efforts to reach the Commission for comment on the development, proved abortive as at press time, as the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren could not respond to text message forwarded to him.
