Sources said Obiano’s arrest was connected with the withdrawal of huge sum of money amounting to some N4 billion from the state’s security votes in just one day.
Recall that the official transfer of power between Obiano and Soludo earlier on Thursday came with drama as the ex-governor’s wife, Ebele Obiano reportedly harassed Bianca Ojukwu, former beauty queen and widow of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Biafran leader, which resulted in exchange of slaps.
contrary to reports, it is not yet clear if the former Anambra governor will be immediately charged to court by the EFCC .
