The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the immediate past governor of Anambra State, WILLIE OBIANO, on administrative bail.

EFCC spokesperson, WILSON UWUJAREN, confirmed this to newsmen.

He said the former governor was released on Wednesday and that his passport is still being held by the anti-graft agency as part of bail conditions.

OBIANO was arrested last week at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, hours after handing over to Governor CHARLES SOLUDO.

The ex-governor was arrested for allegedly misappropriating 5 billion naira Sure-P and 37 billion naira Security Vote funds, which were withdrawn in cash.

The anti-graft agency went on to ask the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform it anytime OBIANO was travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.
