The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says former Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano is currently in its custody undergoing interrogation after his arrest on Thursday.
The spokesperson of the agency, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this in an interview on Friday in Abuja.
He said Obiano who arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, was brought to Abuja on Friday morning.
According to him, the former governor had not been released as being speculated in some sections of the media.
“The former governor is currently in our custody undergoing interrogation and I can not say exactly when he will be released. I don’t know how long the exercise will take.
“All I can tell you now is that he is still in the EFCC custody in Abuja,” he said.
Uwujaren further clarified that he was not aware of the arrest of the wife of the former governor, Ebelechukwu Obiano, as also being speculated in the media.
Obiano was arrested by the EFCC on Thursday night, hours after his handover to the new Anambra governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
