The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC(, has denied rumours making the rounds that it has arrested the immediate past First Lady of Anambra State, Eberechukwu Obiano.
The rumour mill was awashed with speculations that she has been arrested and detained for allegedly involving in fraudulent activities.
Reacting to the report, spokesman of EFCC, Wilson Uwajaren, dismissed such claims.
“Eberechukwu not in EFCC’s custody,” he said.
Recall that Obiano was arrested shortly after he handed over to his successor, Charles Soludo.
The immediate past governor was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, about a month ago.
Meanwhile, the former First Lady had signified her interest to run for the Anambra North Senatorial District, under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
Although Ebele Obiano was involved in a melodrama with Bianca Ojukwu at Charles Soludo’s inauguration as Anambra state governor, she has since tendered her apology and declared interest in running for a senatorial position in the state.
