The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted ex-Anambra Governor Willie Obiano administrative bail after spending four nights in custody.
EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, who disclosed this to journalists on Monday in Abuja, said Obiano was cooperating with the commission to perfect the bail conditions.
Bawa refuted reports claiming Obiano’s arrest and investigation was politically motivated.
“There is nothing political about the investigation. You know what the EFCC stands for,” Bawa said.
“We have been accused of media trial. But we will continue to do our investigation professionally.
“He has been granted bail and we are waiting for him to perfect his bail conditions he has been cooperating with us and everything is going on well,” he said.
Obiano was arrested last Thursday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on his way to Texas, United States.
The EFCC in November, placed the former Governor on its watch list.
