Who Is Willie Obiano First Wife & Why Is He Arrested?
Willie Obiano is married to his first wife Ebelechukwu Obiano.
Ebelechukwu Obiano is also a political figure just like her husband, and she has been a part of the bigger picture now.
Her recent controversy of getting slapped by one of her fellow politicians has given her a decent amount of publicity.
Ebelechukwu, the wife of former Anambra State Governor, has become the first Nigerian First Lady to be slapped out of office.
She accomplished this feat on Thursday at the State House in Awka, during the inauguration of Prof. Anambra State’s new governor is Charles Soludo.
Bianca Ojukwu, a wife of the late Biafra warlord, delivered a ‘hot’ slap to the face of Ebelechukwu, the outgoing First Lady.
The former First Lady had walked majestically from her seat to Bianca’s seat and delivered some harsh words to her, which had provoked her.
She stood up in rage and delivered the slap of her life to Ebelechukwu, which jolted her immediately.
The stunned former First Lady wanted to react, but she was dragged away from Bianca.
As of now, her husband Willie Obiano has been arrested on several accounts of corruption.
Willie Obiano, the immediate-past governor of Anambra State, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on corruption charges.
Sources at the commission did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the press about the matter.
