Former Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano’s detention was not political, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and he has been given bail.
Obiano is being questioned over the alleged embezzlement of N42 billion from the state.
He is being questioned over the suspected misuse of N5 billion in Sure-P and N37 billion in security votes, which were withdrawn in cash.

Abdulrasheed Bawa, Chairman of the EFCC, said on Monday at the 5th Annual General Assembly of the Network of National Anti-Corruption Institutions in West Africa (NACIWA), that Obiano had been given administrative bail but had not yet met the criteria.
“Nothing political about the arrest of the former Anambra State Governor, Wille Obiano. He has been granted bail. But we await (when) he fulfils his bail conditions,” he said.
