An emerging report said on Thursday that Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Sources in the EFCC told The PUNCH that the former Anambra first lady was being questioned for alleged fraud at the commission’s office in Abuja.

The woman was in the news last month after she fought with Nigeria’s former Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu, during the inauguration of the Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, in Awka.

She is eyeing the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) ticket for the Anambra North Senatorial District in the 2023 general elections.

Mrs. Obiano’s arrest came just one month after the anti-graft agency arrested her husband at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for alleged misappropriation of funds during his tenure as Anambra State governor.

The EFCC had during the week challenged the decision of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to grant the former governor’s request to travel to the United States for medical attention.
