The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arrested the Edo State Accountant General, Mr. Julius O. Anelu, and four other officials said to be signatories to the state government accounts
This is coming less than 11 days to the handing over to the Governor-elect, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, by the outgoing Governor Godwin Obaseki.
It was gathered that the five state government officials, reportedly arrested on Thursday, were being held at the Benin office of the agency.
It was also gathered that the officials were arrested apparently to forestall last minute withdrawal from the state account following the budget allegedly approved by the Edo State House of Assembly about two weeks to the inauguration of the new government
