Newsonline reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has finally revealed why it arrested the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano.
Recall that Newsonline Nigeria was the first online newspaper to report that Obiano was picked last night at the Lagos International Airport, on his way out of the country by the EFCC.
Speaking with BBC Pidgin in a report monitored by Newsonline, the Public Relations Officer of the commission, Wilson Uwajaren confirmed the arrest.
According to the commission’s spokesman, Obiano had been on the watchlist of the EFCC prior to the transition on Thursday.
He said, “Obiano has been on our watchlist for some time now. He had immunity as a governor and that is why we could not arrest him before now.
“Today he lost the immunity and was travelling out of the country before we finally arrested him”
