Immediate past governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano who handed over the governance of Anambra state to his successor, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo yesterday at Anambra state government house was yesterday night at about 8:30pm arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos alongside his wife on their way out of the country to Houston U.S.A.
As the time of filing this report, the airport security were holding him and his wife pending when the men of the EFCC will come for them. Sources have it that they will be moved to the EFCC detention facility any moment from now.
Recall that the Ex Governor has been on the EFCC watch list since November 2022 in a public notice they made openly where they called on the governor not to make any international trip after his tenure expires pending when he has been cleared by the anti-graft agency. He was arrested on the same day he handed over when the constitutional immunity of governors and president that protects them from civil and criminal investigation and litigations were automatically removed from him yesterday as his tenure as governor has expired.
We await further details from the anti-graft commission on the fate of the ex-governor.
