Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied reports that Ebelechukwu, wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, was in its custody.
A section of the media (Gatekeepers News not included) on Thursday reported that the former first lady of Anambra state was arrested over alleged fraud.
However, the anti-graft agency’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren denied the report and told Vanguard that she was not in EFCC’s custody.
Gatekeepers News, last week, reported that Ebelechukwu declared interest to contest in the 2023 elections to represent Anambra North District at the Senate under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Her husband Willie Obiano was arrested a month ago at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, after handing over to his successor, Charles Soludo.
