Multiple media reports indicate that the former governor whose wife Ebelechuckwu was involved in a brawl with Bianca Ojukwu during Soludo’s inauguration earlier on Thursday was picked up by the EFCC men at about 8:30p.m. at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State.
According to sources, Obiano was on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States when he was arrested by the anti-graft agency. He has been on the EFCC’s watch list .
The EFCC, after placing Obiano on a watch list in November 2021, requested the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform the Commission anytime the former governor is travelling out of the country from any of the international airports, as well as other points of entry and exit.
However, the anti-graft agency has not stated why it arrested Obiano and why he was placed on a watch list.
