The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has released a former director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential campaign Council, Doyin Okupe.
The former presidential aide was earlier today arrested at the MMIA by the operatives of the Department State Service, who claimed to have acted at the instance of EFCC.
His arrest was later confirmed by the EFCC in a statement by his spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren.
