The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says
former Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra was being quizzed over the alleged
misappropriation of N42 billion belonging to the state.
An authoritative source in the EFCC disclosed this to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.
The source said the former governor was being interrogated
over the alleged misapplication of N5 billion Sure-P and N37 billion security
vote, withdrawn in cash.
According to the source, part of the funds was also
allegedly diverted to finance political activities in the state.
The Commission on Friday told NAN that the former governor
was in its custody undergoing interrogation after his arrest on March 17.
Obiano was arrested on Thursday at Murtala Mohammed
International Airport, Lagos and brought to Abuja on Friday morning.
The Commission said the former governor had not been
released.
Obiano was arrested by EFCC on Thursday night, hours after
handing over to the new Anambra Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
