The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has detained Willie Obiano, the immediate former Governor of Anambra State (EFCC).
Only hours after turning over power to Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the state’s new governor, Obiano was captured at the Lagos International Airport.
He was believed to be on his way out of the country to the United States when he was caught by the anti-graft agency.
Agents from the EFCC will apprehend Obiano.
Obiano was apprehended around 8.30 p.m. after being placed on the agency’s watchlist, according to Channels TV.
