Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has kicked against an interim ex parte order by the Awka Division of the Federal High Court presided over by Justice Hyeladzira Nganjiwa granting the former governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, leave to travel to the United States to keep to his medical appointment.Obiano is being investigated by the EFCC for alleged corruption and money laundering during his tenure as governor from 2014 to 2022.

He was arrested on March 17, 2022, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos as he attempted to leave the country hours after handing over to his successor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo. He had been on the commission’s watch since 2021. A statement on Saturday by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, accused Obiano of attempting to arm-twist the anti-graft agency with the ex parte order.

The statement stated, “Available court documents indicate that Obiano had on March 11, 2022, ahead of his handover on March 17, filed a motion ex parte dated March 10, 2022 before Justice Nganjiwa praying, among others, for an interim injunction stopping the EFCC from arresting or preventing him from travelling out of the country for his medical treatment.

“While the court in one breath ordered the applicant to put the commission on notice on why interim preservatory order should not be granted, it went ahead to make an order that the commission should not obstruct, impede or prevent the applicant from travelling abroad to keep his medical appointment and adjourned till March 23.

Na APC and Buhari gave the judgements o Funny country filled with mumu people who are always supporting the political elites killing them and their futures . I hope they will ask Buhari to resign bcos of this too Corrupt masses wit vampire leaders .

I can understand the frustration of EFCC in respect of the order of the court but an exparte order is not a denial of fair hearing; it is merely made in matters of urgency to preserve the res. EFCC will still be heard before the final order is made.

'He was arrested on March 17, 2022, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos as he attempted to leave the country hours after handing over to his successor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo. He had been on the commission’s watch since 2021.'
