Abuja – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has identified and imposed appropriate sanction on the officer that leaked the video of former Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano.
A statement released in Abuja on Monday by EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said the sanction imposed on the officer was in line with its guiding principles.
According to him, the trending video was not authorised by the anti-graft agency and that it has no place in its mode of operations.
“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.
“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,” EFCC said in the statement.
It will be recalled that the video of Obiano in the custody of the EFCC had appeared online on Sunday afternoon, prompting reactions from members of the public.(vitalnews)
