The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released a former Director-General of the Department of State Services, Mr Ita Ekpeyong, hours after his arrest.
EFCC officials and armed policemen had arrested mr ekpeyong on thursday from his residence in Asokoro, Abuja.
Details about the reason for his arrest are sketchy but comes after his successor Mr Lawal Daura was fired by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
In November 2017, officials of the DSS believed to be acting under the directives of Daura had prevented EFCC officials from arresting him.
