Ex-Anambra gov’s wife, Ebere Obiano, not with us – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reacted to reports that Eberechukwu Obiano, wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, is in its custody, saying the lady is not with them.

Some online media had reported the arrest and detention of the former first lady of Anambra State Thursday night.

She was said to have been arrested over alleged fraud.

However, the EFCC’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, denied the reports, saying that Mrs Obiano is not in EFCC’s custody.

Her husband, Willie Obiano, was apprehended about a month ago at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, after handing over to his successor, Soludo.

Eberechukwu last week declared interest to contest in the 2023 elections to represent Anambra North District at the Senate under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
