In a letter to the Nigeria Immigration Service, the anti-graft agency demanded that Obiano’s movement should be monitored.
In the letter addressed to the Comptroller General of Immigration, the EFCC requested to be informed anytime Obiano is travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.
But reacting on behalf of the governor, Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Don Adinuba, accused the EFCC of acting a script.
He said Obiano has four months left to remain in office and the commission went to far by publicly announcing that it is investigating him.
Adinuba said the governor has made it public that he would relocate to his US base at the end of his tenure.
“Nigerians were dismayed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) went a new low on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, when it sponsored media reports claiming that it has placed Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State on its watch list. The EFCC provided no details of how Governor Obiano has been placed on its watch list, but made a reference to a letter it purportedly wrote on November 15, 2021, to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) asking it to inform the anti-graft agency anytime the governor is travelling out of the country.”
