The trial of Willie Obiano, former governor of Anambra State, continued on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, seeking the continuation of the matter before Justice Inyang Ekpo, having already called nine witnesses, instead of starting de novo before a new Judge.
Obiano is facing prosecution on nine-count charges of alleged embezzlement and money laundering to the tune of N4 billion
At Tuesday’s sitting before Justice M. G Umar, EFCC Counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, who was represented in court by two different counsel, told the court that the Commission would await the resumption of Justice Inyang Ekwo in continuing the trial of the former governor.
Nine different witnesses had already testified before Justice Ekwo. The Commission only had one or more witnesses to testify before closing its case.
Based on the prayers of the prosecution counsel, the court adjourned proceedings indefinitely.
