The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has denied reports that he was stopped from returning to Nigeria by authorities in the United States of America.
Online reports had said the governor was stopped from returning to Nigeria because of an altercation he had with some airport officials.
But Obiano, who spoke through the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, described the story as fabricated.
Adinuba said, “The governor travelled with a diplomatic passport. So, the story is rubbish. It’s nonsensical and foolish to think that somebody with a diplomatic passport can be stopped from returning to his country for any reason by airport authorities.
