The country’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has released the former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, after he spent barely 24 hours in custody.
Daily Trust confirmed his release on Tuesday.
DAILY POST reports that the former governor had honoured an invitation by the commission at about 11:16 am on Monday but was subsequently taken into custody.
“He has been granted administrative bail. We’ve extracted what we need from him, and he will soon leave our headquarters after perfecting his bail conditions,” an EFCC officer told Daily Trust.
Meanwhile, the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, is yet to comment on Tambuwal’s release as of the time of filing this report.
