THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday arrested former Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Obiano, who has been on the commission’s watchlist for months, was arrested at about 8.30 p.m.
He was reportedly on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas, in the United States after handing over to his successor, Governor Charles Soludo.
Channels Television had reported last November how the EFCC had placed Obiano on a watchlist.
The EFCC had requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform it anytime the governor is travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.
It is, however, not yet clear why the anti-graft agency placed the governor on a watchlist.
