Mansions allegedly linked to the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, located at Ngozika Estate in Awka, the state capital has been reportedly sealed up by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It was gathered that the operatives of the anti-graft agency had placed a notice on the properties, requesting people to keep off. The notice reads;
‘EFCC, Keep Off. Under Investigation’
Recall that on March 17, the agency had arrested the former governor while on his way to the US. His arrest came hours after he handed over to the new governor, Professor Charles Soludo.
The former governor was arrested for alleged “misappropriation of public funds” including N5 billion Sure-P and N37 billion security votes, which was withdrawn in cash. Part of the funds was also allegedly diverted to finance political activities in the state.
Obiano was placed on the EFCC’s watch list few months before the expiration of his tenure, just as the commission cautioned that the former governor had questions to answer over alleged sleaze while in office
On March 24 he was granted administrative bail after spending six days in EFCC custody.
