The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, bail.
Obiano’s bail was announced by the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, there was nothing political about the former governor’s arrest.
“There is nothing political about the investigation. You know what the EFCC stands for,” Bawa said. “We investigate crimes, we look at people that have committed crimes and we link it up together and then we go to court. That is all we have been doing and that is what we will continue to do.
“We have been accused of media trial. But we will continue to do our investigation professionally.
“He has been granted bail and we are waiting for him to perfect his bail conditions he has been cooperating with us and everything is going on well,” he said.
NewsBreak recalls that Obiano, who has been on the watch list of EFCC, was arrested on Thursday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, while trying to board a flight to Texas, United States.
