The Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa made this disclosure during an interview with journalists in Abuja.

Bawa who spokeĀ on the sideline of 5th Annual General Assembly (AGA) of the Network of Anti-Corruption Institutions in West Africa (NACIMA), further added that though Obiano was granted bail, the former governor is yet to perfect his bail conditions and he still in custody.

Speaking further, Bawa clarified that Obiano was not arrested on political reasons contrary to what is being speculated, adding that he is been investigated professionally.
