Allegation
The EFCC alleges Obiano withdrew ₦4 billion from Anambra State security-vote accounts at Fidelity Bank within 24 hours in March 2017, in eight separate ₦500 million transactions, as part of a wider probe into ₦42 billion in security-vote and SURE-P funds.
Outcome / Status
Obiano was arrested at Lagos airport hours after leaving office in March 2022, arraigned on a nine-count money-laundering and stealing charge in January 2024, pleaded not guilty and was granted bail; the trial was ongoing as of the most recent reporting, with prosecution witnesses including bankers and BDC operators already presenting evidence.
Administration's response
Obiano has pleaded not guilty and is contesting the charges through trial.
