The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it
has identified the officer who leaked a video of Willie Obiano, immediate past
governor of Anambra, in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
On March 17, Obiano was taken into custody in Lagos before
he was transferred to the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.
Shortly after his arrest, a video of the former governor in
the custody of the EFCC surfaced on social media.
Reacting to the development in a statement issued on Monday,
the EFCC said the video leak was against its operational guidelines, adding
that the officer in question would be sanctioned accordingly.
“The attention of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a trending
video showing the former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, in the
custody of the Commission,” the statement issued by Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC
spokesman, reads.
“The Commission wishes to distance itself from the said
video which is completely at variance with the established Standard Operating
Procedure of the EFCC.
“A discreet investigation ordered upon discovery of the leak
has revealed the errant officer behind the odious act and he is currently being
subjected to appropriate disciplinary action.”
