The Anambra state government says it cannot defend the allegations levelled against Franklin Nwadialo, the newly elected chairman of Ogbaru LGA, who was arrested in the United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for an alleged romance scam.
Law Mefor, the state’s commissioner for information and public enlightenment, Dr Law Mefor, spoke on the development on Saturday, November 9.
Legit.ng reports that Nwadialo was arrested in Texas, United States, for an alleged $3.3 million romance scam.
The Nigerian politician reportedly faces a 20-year jail term if he is found guilty by the court.
Distancing Governor Chukwuma Soludo from the development, Mefor said Nwadialo is not an appointee of the Anambra state governor, noting that he was elected by his people as the LGA chairman.
