The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released detained former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Babachir Lawal.
A source in the commission said that Lawal was released on administrative bail on Friday evening.
The source, however, did not give further details.
Lawal was detained by the EFCC on Wednesday morning after he honoured an invitation to the commissionβs head office in Abuja.
The development followed his sack by President Muhammadu Buhari on October 30.
Buhariβs action was based on the recommendation of a presidential panel that probed misuse of funds meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North-East.
The former SGF is accused of using his company, Rholavision Engineering Ltd, to corner a N200 million contract for the clearing of βevasive plant speciesββ in Yobe State.
