The Economic and Financial Commission, EFCC, has transferred the immediate-past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, from its Lagos zonal office to its headquarters in Abuja.
EFCC sources say Obiano was taken from the Lagos office to the agency’s headquarters in Abuja Friday morning.
“He has been moved this morning (Friday) from our Lagos zonal office to our headquarters in Abuja for proper interrogation,” the source said.
The former governor would be interrogated on issues involving allegations of corruption and related matters, according to the sources
Mr Obiano was apprehended at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos at about 8.30 p.m. on Thursday.
The arrest came barely hours after Mr Obiano completed his second term as governor and handed over to Charles Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, who was sworn in as the sixth governor of the state on Thursday.
It will be recalled that the commission had since last year placed the former governor on its watch list.
