EFCC&OBIANO: Anambra Women Set To Protest N@ked In Abuja | READ DETAILS
Anambra women under the aegis of Anambra-North Women Empowerment Movement has threatened to storm the national headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Abuja, n@ked if the anti-graft agency fails to release their former Governor, Willie Obiano, from custody.
The group made the threat while reacting to a viral video showing Obiano seated, drinking water in the Commissions facility.
A statement signed by the chairperson of the group, Mrs. Uju Ifunanya Edochie, on Monday, read;
“The Anambra-North Women Empowerment Movement hereby issue stern admonitions to EFCC for its reckless and unprofessional behaviour towards handling the case of Obiano.
“We the women of the state strongly condemn the vile trending online video clip of Obiano while in EFCC custody. It is quite obvious that the particular video was taken without his knowledge nor consent and as such, this premeditated brouhaha by the EFCC seems to veer into a caricature and witch-hunting which is a mockery of Nigeria’s judicial due process.
“The former governor was one of the leading performing governors in Nigeria, as he had profound achievements in agriculture, health, education, infrastructure, commerce and trade, security, employment rate, civil service as well as state economy.
“Anambra ranked lowest in poverty index, the unemployment rate dropped drastically, three jumbo rice mills were established in different parts of the state, 17 iconic bridges and flyovers were constructed with numerous standard roads throughout the state, functional street and traffic lights were mounted on all roads, built the first Anambra Airport and so on.”
“the EFCC facility is not safe, if they could humiliate an ex-governor, made a video of him in their supposed protective custody and sent to social media for the public to mock”.
The women threatened to “protest at EFCC Abuja office n@ked if EFCC doesn’t release urgently” the ex-governor.
All Facts Newspaper had reported that EFCC’s Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa on Monday revealed that Obiano has been granted bail, however, he is yet to meet his bail conditions. READ HERE
