After more than four months in detention, the Department of State Services (DSS) has released former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa.
Bawa has been in custody since June when President Bola Tinubu suspended him.
In a statement, Willie Bassey, Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, had said Bawa was suspended as a result of weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled against him.
He said said the suspension was to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.
Among others, former Governor of Zamfara State and Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, had accused Bawa of demanding $2 million bribe from him.
In a swift reaction, Bawa denied the allegation, insisting that Matawalle must provide evidence publicly.
