EFCC seals Ex-Governor, Obiano’s property in Anambra

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday sealed some property belonging to the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano.

The commission sealed mansions allegedly traced to Obiano at Ngozika Estate in Awka.

It placed a notice, which reads, “EFCC, Keep Off; Under Investigation” on the wall of the abandoned building traceable to Obiano.

This is coming six days after the Former Governor was released from the commission’s custody

The EFCC had also seized Obiano’s passport following his arrest at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport on his way to Houston, United States of America, shortly after handing over to his successor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo on Thursday, March 17, 2022.

He was granted administrative bail, but it took another two days to meet the bail conditions, including provision of two directors of Federal Civil Service, who must have landed property in Maitama or Wuse areas of Abuja and a Senator as sureties.

Obiano was placed on the EFCC’s watch list few months before the expiration of his tenure, just as the commission cautioned that the former governor had questions to answer over alleged sleaze while in office.
