Former Anambra Governor Willie Obiano and Fidelity Bank MD Stella Onyeali-Ikpe Allegedly Involved in Multi-billion Naira Money Laundering Scandal.
Shocking revelations have emerged regarding former Anambra Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, and Fidelity Bank’s Managing Director, Stella Onyeali-Ikpe, as they face allegations of participating in a multi-billion naira money laundering scheme. Daily Global News has obtained documents that expose the illicit activities involving the two prominent figures.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly been gathering evidence, connecting Willie Obiano to various high-profile corrupt practices during his tenure as Governor. Notably, he stands accused of withdrawing over N4 billion from the state treasury within a mere 24 hours. Additional undisclosed transactions are also being scrutinized, indicating that the former governor may have much to answer for.
On March 17th, 2022, Obiano attempted to flee the country with his wife, Ebele Obiano, via a chartered plane at Asaba Airport. However, the EFCC intercepted them, detaining Obiano for extensive questioning upon their arrival at Murtala Muhammed Airport. While he has since been granted bail, reports suggest that the former governor has relocated his family to a luxurious mansion in Atlanta, Georgia.
Allegations point to a longstanding relationship between Willie Obiano and Fidelity Bank’s MD, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, who previously served on the board of the bank. Sources within the financial institution have revealed that a forensic analysis of all accounts linked to Anambra State during Obiano’s tenure would expose numerous discrepancies, implicating Fidelity Bank in the scandal.
Documents obtained by the Peoples Gazette further shed light on Obiano’s actions. They reveal that on March 29, 2017, he withdrew a staggering N500 million from various Fidelity Bank accounts under the name ‘Anambra State Security Vote.’ The withdrawals, made at Fidelity Bank’s branch in Amawbia, Anambra State, occurred eight times throughout the day, raising suspicions of money laundering.
Despite inquiries, neither Obiano nor his aides have provided satisfactory explanations regarding the utilization of these funds. The EFCC, which is actively investigating the matter, is believed to be aware of this revelation and its significance.
This scandal surrounding Willie Obiano and Stella Onyeali-Ikpe has sent shockwaves through the political and financial realms, casting a spotlight on alleged corruption at the highest levels. As investigations continue, the full extent of their involvement in the multi-billion naira money laundering scheme is expected to be uncovered
