The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, from its custody.
Idris was released on bail from the custody of the anti-graft agency on Wednesday night in Abuja and has since been reunited with his family.
Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesperson, said Idris was released after meeting his bail conditions.
The EFCC had arrested Idris on May 16 over an N80 billion fraud.
He was arrested after failing to honour the commission’s invitations to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent act, the EFCC said.
