The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano.
It was gathered that Obiano was arrested at about 8:30p.m. at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State.
The former governor, who has been on the EFCC’s watch list, was reportedly on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States when he was arrested by the anti-graft agency.
The latest development is coming hours after Obiano handed over to Charles Soludo, the new governor of Anambra State.

The EFCC, after placing Obiano on a watch list in November 2021, requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform the Commission anytime the former governor is travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.
However, the anti-graft agency has not stated why it arrested Obiano and why he was placed on a watch list.
