The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday released Shehu Sani, ex-lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, from its custody
The embattled ex-Senator regained his freedom after spending four weeks in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Sani, who was arrested and detained for alleged extortion and bribery, was released on Thursday after perfecting his bail conditions.
An official of the EFCC confirmed his release.
The anti-graft agency arrested the ex-lawmaker last December for failing to honour several invitations over allegations that he extorted $24,000 from the Chairman of ASD Motors, Alhaji Sani Dauda.
The agency alleged that Sani extorted the money from Dauda to shield him from an ongoing criminal investigation.
Operatives of the EFCC also searched his residence and office in Abuja.
He was charged with two counts, bordering on advance fee fraud and bribery with the intention to bribe the EFCC chairman which he pleaded not guilty to.
