EFCC Identifies, Disciplines Officer Behind Leaked Obiano Video

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has initiated disciplinary measures against its official it claimed recorded the video of Chief Willie Obiano, the immediate past governor of Anambra State undergoing interrogation while in custody.

The commission in a statement made available to GreenWhiteGreen GWG said that the leakage of the video was odious and not consistent with the practice of the commission.

The EFCC was, however, quiet on the identity of the officer who recorded the Obiano video and the disciplinary measures that were being applied to him or her.

EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, while renouncing the video said:

“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a trending video showing the former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano in the custody of the Commission.

“The Commission wishes to distance itself from the said video which is completely at variance with the established Standard Operating Procedure of the EFCC.

 “A discreet investigation ordered upon discovery of the leak has revealed the errant officer behind the odious act and he is currently being subjected to appropriate disciplinary action”.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Obiano was apprehended by the EFCC last Thursday while making plans to leave the country hours after he handed over to his successor, Professor Charles Soludo as governor of Anambra State.

While in EFCC custody in Abuja, a video of Obiano sitting beside a former aide emerged on social media. It showed him drinking water in the course of his interrogation.

He is being held to account for billions of naira including security votes allocated to the state while he was governor between 2014 and 2022.
