Former Anambra Governor Willie Obiano to Be Arraigned on Money Laundering Charges

 



The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign the immediate-past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on January 24, before the Federal High Court, Abuja, over alleged money laundering totaling N4,008,573,350. 

Obiano is accused of moving funds from security votes into different accounts, converting the money into dollars at various times, and receiving cash back. 

The charges include indirect transfers from the Anambra State Government Security Vote Account to entities unrelated to the state government's security affairs. 

Obiano, arrested in March 2022, will face nine count charges, and the EFCC aims to send a clear message against corruption.
