The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has moved former Anambra state Governor, South East Nigeria, Willie Obiano to Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the spokesperson for the commission, Wilson Uwujiaren, confirmed this in a statement.
He added that Obiano had been on the EFCC’s watch list for some months.
He noted that his immunity as a governor prevented his arrest until he handed it over to his successor.
Uwujiaren said the commission had requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to provide information on the former governor’s movement out of the country from airports, or other points of exit from the country.
The commission busted Obiano at about 8.30 p.m., on Thursday, at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos, on his way to Houston, Texas, U.S after handing over to his successor, Gov. Charles Soludo.
