The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday said it has sanctioned the officer that recorded and leaked a video of former Anambra governor, Willie Obiano, while he was in custody.
The unnamed officer was unearthed following an investigation by the anti-graft agency.
“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, EFCC spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren said in a statement.
“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.”
Obiano was arrested last Thursday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos while trying to board a flight to Texas, United States.
The anti-graft agency had in November last year placed the former governor on a watchlist.
