The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on administrative bail.

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed this to Channels Television on Thursday.

He said the former governor was released on Wednesday and that his passport is still being held by the anti-graft agency as part of bail conditions.

Obiano was arrested last week at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, hours after handing over to Governor Charles Soludo.

The ex-governor was arrested for allegedly misappropriating various sums of money including N5billion Sure-P allocation to Anambra State and N37 billion Security Vote which he allegedly withdrew in cash.
