The suspended Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu has been released from detention. He regained freedom Wednesday evening after spending nine days in confinement when he was arrested and hauled before a presidential panel probing his stewardship at the anti-graft agency.

Magu had been detained in a police facility in Abuja from where he was taken before the panel every morning to answer questions.

His lawyer had written Mohammed Adamu, the Inspector General of Police last Friday asking for bail for him.

But the IGP, in a response released earlier today said the panel investigating the suspended EFCC Chairman is the one holding him.

It was not certain if his release has anything to do with his lawyers’ letter.
