The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Ebelechukwu, the wife of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano.
The former Anambra First Lady, who has been under investigation, is currently in the custody of the commission in Abuja and is being questioned for alleged fraud.
Her arrest is coming about a month after her husband was apprehended at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, as he attempted to leave for the United States, hours after handing over to his successor, Soludo.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren has however denied knowing anything about Mrs Obiano’s arrest.
Obiano recently got the country talking after she became involved in a brawl with a former Nigerian ambassador to Spain and wife of Biafra warlord, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, during the swearing-in of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as Anambra State Governor on March 17.
Mrs Obiano is seeking to contest in the 2023 elections to represent Anambra North District at the Senate under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
