The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, has said that the commission has granted bail to the detained former Governor of Anambra State.
Speaking to newsmen at the 5th Annual General Assembly of the Network of National Anti-corruption institutions in West Africa (NACIWA), Bawa said that the commission was only waiting for the former Governor to meet the bail conditions.
He explained that Obiano’s is yet to fulfill his bail conditions.
Bawa stressed that there’s nothing political about the former Governor’s arrest.
“Nothing political about the arrest of the former Anambra State Governor, Wille Obiano. He has been grated bail. But we await (when) he fulfils his bail conditions.” He said
Although the EFCC boss did not mention the bail conditions, a competent source said that a director in the civil service or a permanent secretary with a landed property would be required to sign for his release.
Obiano was arrested last week Thursday on his way Houston Texas, United Stated after handing over to Governor Charles Soludo.
He was moved from the Lagos office to Abuja to commence full investigation into the allegations against him on Friday morning
A top source at the commission said that Obiano was being interrogated for alleged diversion of N37 billion Security Vote and N5 billion Sure- P funds.
The EFCC is suspicious that the N42 billion was withdrawn cash by the embattled former governor.
