The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), yesterday, condemned the leakage of a video showing former Anambra Governor Willie Obiano in its custody. Obiano was intercepted last Thursday at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA), Lagos while heading to Houston, Texas the same day he ended his tenure and handed it over to Charles Soludo in Awka.
During the weekend, footage showing Obiano sitting, dressed in a T-shirt and red shorts and holding a bottle of water while in custody, went viral. A statement on Monday by EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren condemned the release of the video, announcing that the culprit will face the music. He said the act was "completely at variance with the established Standard Operating Procedure" of the commission.
"A discreet investigation ordered upon discovery of the leak has revealed the errant officer behind the odious act. He is currently being subjected to appropriate disciplinary action," Obiano is accused of diverting Local Government Councils (LGCs) allocations and alleged purchase of properties in Nigeria and abroad.
