EFCC’s Money Laundering Case Against Ex-Governor Obiano Adjourned to Nov 13
A Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of former Anambra Governor, Willie Obiano, over alleged money laundering charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to November 13, 2024. The case was postponed because Justice Inyang Ekwo, who is handling the matter, was attending a seminar at the National Judicial Institute (NJI) in Abuja.

The EFCC has accused Obiano of misappropriating over N4 billion from the state’s treasury during his tenure as governor. The trial was set to continue with testimony from prosecution witnesses, including a former bank staff, Ugochukwu Otubelu, who managed the state’s security vote account, and a Bureau de Change operator, Hayatu Hadejia. Both have testified on the financial dealings under Obiano’s administration.
Justice Ekwo had initially set October 7-10 for the trial but has now moved the continuation of proceedings to November 13.
