On the run? Governor changes homes as arrest over graft looms

A governor facing imminent arrest over graft allegations has reportedly switched residences, heightening political tension in his county and fuelling speculation over an impending crackdown on corruption.

Sources familiar with the matter say the governor quietly moved out of his private residence in recent days after learning that investigators were finalising a case linked to alleged misuse of public funds. The move has been interpreted by allies and critics alike as a sign of growing pressure from anti-graft agencies.

The allegations centre on questionable procurement deals and suspected diversion of county funds through inflated contracts and proxy companies. Detectives are said to have gathered incriminating evidence against the county boss and are now planning to invite county officials and contractors implicated in the graft probe to record statements f ahead of possible arraignment.
