The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has released the immediate- past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano after spending seven days in detention.
The anti-graft agency had released Obiano on Wednesday after he reportedly fulfilled his bail condition, but seized his passport, preventing him from leaving the country.
Obiano was arrested a week ago by the EFCC at the Murtala Muhammed Airport a few hours after he handed over to his successor, Professor Charles Soludo.

The EFCC said he was arrested following an alleged “misappropriation of public funds, including, N5bn Sure-P and N37bn security vote which was withdrawn in cash. Part of the funds was also allegedly diverted to finance political activities in the state”.
