Obiano will be charged by the EFCC today for suspected N4 billion fraud.

Today, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign the former governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, before a Federal High Court in Abuja on charges of alleged money laundering during his tenure. 

The anti-graft agency alleges that Obiano misappropriated public funds amounting to N4 billion between 2014 and 2022. 

The charges include accusations of indirect transfers from the Anambra State Government Security Vote Account to accounts belonging to entities unrelated to the state government's security affairs, constituting offenses under the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act. 

The EFCC's Director of Legal and Prosecution, Slyvanus Tahir (SAN), will lead the legal team in the trial.
