Just In: EFCC places Gov Obiano on watchlist, puts security agencies on alert

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has placed the Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on a watchlist.

However, it is unclear why the commission placed the governor who will leave office next year on its watchlist.

In a letter dated November 15, 2021, and addressed to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the EFCC requested the Service to place Obiano on a watchlist and inform it anytime he is travelling out of Nigeria from any of the international airports as well as other entry and exit points in the country.
