The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday arrested former Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport Lagos.
Obiano, who has been on the Commission’s watchlist, was arrested at about 8.30pm, according to our source; Channels Tv.
The former Anambra State governor was reportedly on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States.
It is common knowledge that sitting governors in Nigeria have immunity from criminal prosecution while in office.
However, TheHILL learnt that the EFCC might have been discreetly investigating the ex-governor and possibly had intelligence that he was planning to escape after handing over power to his successor, Professor Charles Soludo on Thursday, March 17, 2022.
TheHILL will bring details of the story as events unfold.
