Gatekeepers News reports that EFCC says the officers who leaked Obiano’s video is currently been sanctioned.

On March 17, the ex-governor was arrested in Lagos before he was transferred to the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.

In a statement issued on Monday, EFFC’s Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said the video leaked was against its operational guidelines, stressing that the officer in question would be sanctioned accordingly.

The statement read, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a trending video showing the former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, in the custody of the Commission.

“The Commission wishes to distance itself from the said video which is completely at variance with the established Standard Operating Procedure of the EFCC.

“A discreet investigation ordered upon discovery of the leak has revealed the errant officer behind the odious act and he is currently being subjected to appropriate disciplinary action.”

Meanwhile, Gatekeepers News earlier reported that EFCC has granted Obiano administrative bail after spending four nights in custody.
