Why we arrested Obiano as he tried to escape to US – EFCC

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has confirmed the arrest of the immediate past Governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano.

The anti-graft agency also gave reasons why he was apprehended.

Obiano was nabbed by EFCC operatives on Thursday night at the Lagos International Airport, on his way out of the country.

The development came just a few hours after he handed over power to the new Governor of the State, Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

Speaking with BBC Pidgin, the Public Relations Officer of the commission, Wilson Uwajaren confirmed the arrest.

According to the commission’s spokesman, Obiano had been on the watchlist of the EFCC prior to the transition on Thursday.

He said, “Obiano has been on our watchlist for sometime now. He had immunity as a governor and that is why we could not arrest him before now.

“Today he lost the immunity and was traveling out of the country before we finally arrested him”.

  1. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  2. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  3. Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site? My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and my users would definitely benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Appreciate it!

  4. I believe everything published was actually very reasonable. But, what about this? what if you added a little content? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news titles to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.

  5. First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!
