Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has hinted that his predecessor, Willie Obiano, who is currently being detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), will soon be released.

• Arrest has no political undertones, says anti-graft agency

He was, thereafter, taken to EFCC’s detention facility in Abuja, where he was given stringent bail conditions, including provision of two top public servants who must own landed property in Abuja as sureties. He argued that the immediate past governor of Anambra State could not have been arrested and detained for misappropriation of public funds, as, according to him, there were several looters in the country, who have been indicted, but have never been arrested and detained.

“Obiano’s arrest is not new in Nigeria. When most governors leave office, EFCC swoops on them. He must be given the right of fair hearing. We don’t know why they arrested him. In a statement issued by the Obi of Onitsha and chairman of the council, HRM Nnaemeka Achebe, the group expressed disappointment that the EFCC should someone of Obiano’s status in such a distasteful and reprehensive manner.
