The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it has identified the officer who leaked a video of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, in its custody.
Obiano was arrested last Thursday by EFCC operatives at Murtala Mohammed Internatiaonal Airport, Lagos, before he was transferred to the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.
On Sunday, March 20, a video of the former governor in EFCC custody surfaced on social media.
Reacting to the development in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, on Monday, EFCC said the video leak was against its operational guidelines, adding that the officer in question would be sanctioned accordingly.
“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a trending video showing the former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, in the custody of the Commission.
“The Commission wishes to distance itself from the said video which is completely at variance with the established Standard Operating Procedure of the EFCC.
“A discreet investigation ordered upon discovery of the leak has revealed the errant officer behind the odious act and he is currently being subjected to appropriate disciplinary action,” the statement read.
