EFCC Arrests Official Behind Leaked Video Of Ex-Anambra Governor Obiano

The officer who leaked the footage of a former governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, in the anti-graft agency’s custody has been captured, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

On Monday, the commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, issued a statement confirming this.

According to the EFCC, a quiet investigation was ordered after the event, which discovered the errant officer who committed the conduct.

The statement read, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission 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.”

Obiano was arrested last Thursday after handing over to his successor Governor Charles Soludo in Awka.

He was intercepted at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA) while heading to Houston, Texas.

During the weekend, footage showing him sitting, dressed in a T-shirt and matching shorts, went viral.

Obiano is accused of diverting Local Government Councils (LGCs) allocations and alleged purchase of properties in Nigeria and abroad.
