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governor was being interrogated over the alleged misapplication of N5 billion Sure-P and N37 billion security vote, withdrawn in cash.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

The engagement of some ladies in bestiality has continued to elicit flurry of reactions across social media platforms. On social media, viral videos of some ladies having intercourse with dogs has caused people to wonder why they engage in such act considering the serious health risks.

Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, has warned that his former club could still lose out on finishing in the top four places. The Gunners bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in midweek to beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday. The win opened a four-point gap between Mikel Arteta’s men and Manchester United in fifth place. However, Keown feels that their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur who are currently seventh with 48 points, could clinch the last Champions League spot. “Now there’s a lot of games ahead and I still put Spurs as favourites to make top four. Let’s see if they can do it. Arsenal, we have now got to see, but when I look at the fixtures and I see games away at Chelsea, Spurs, it’s tough. It’s in Arsenal’s hands and if they keep performing as they are they can do it. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on the Arsenal players. I said they are rebuilding their reputation and sometimes they’ve been guilty of too many pats on the back and they’ve lost con...

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of petrochemical behemoth Ineos, has launched a spectacular last-minute bid for Chelsea. Ratcliffe, one of Britain's wealthiest men, has previously been linked with a takeover of Chelsea, but a spokeswoman for the club recently denied suggestions that he could succeed Roman Abramovich. Following the sanctioning of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the race to buy the club was reduced to three contenders, with consortiums led by former Liverpool chairman Sir Michael Broughton, LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, and Steve Pagliuca, who co-owns the Boston Celtics, remaining in the running after a fourth prospective owner, the Ricketts family, pulled out. After meeting with Blues chairman Bruce Buck yesterday, Ratcliffe, 69, revealed to The Times that he had submitted a late offer for more over £4 billion to US merchant bank Raine Group, which is supervising the sale, on Friday morning.
