We are quizzing ex-Gov Obiano over misappropriation of N42bn state funds – EFCC

-


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says former Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra was being quizzed over the alleged misappropriation of N42 billion belonging to the state.

An authoritative source in the EFCC disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.

The source said the former governor was being interrogated over the alleged misapplication of N5 billion Sure-P and N37 billion security vote, withdrawn in cash.

According to the source, part of the funds was also allegedly diverted to finance political activities in the state.

The Commission on Friday told NAN that the former governor was in its custody undergoing interrogation after his arrest on March 17.

Obiano was arrested on Thursday at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos and brought to Abuja on Friday morning.

The Commission said the former governor had not been released.

Obiano was arrested by EFCC on Thursday night, hours after handing over to the new Anambra Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.

Hair loss is one of the most prevalent side effects for both men and women after a cancer diagnosis. Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that focuses on cancer cells that are quickly growing.
