The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has released former presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, PREMIUM TIMES can report.
Mr. Abati confirmed his release to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday morning. He said was putting up somewhere in Abuja.
Mr. Abati reported himself at the anti-graft office on October 21 following a notice by the agency that he was being sought as an alleged beneficiary of fraud.
He was accused of receiving N50 million from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
After initially working out a repayment of N5 million with the EFCC, Mr. Abati later told his interrogators that he woould not be able to raise any reimbursement, a stalemate that apparently prolonged his stay in custody.
Details of his release will be published as they become available.
This is an indelible mark on a once prolific writer Reuben Abati who was good at hitting hard on fraudsters , and bad leadership but now have put his hand in the till. He that must come to equity must come with clean hands, What more can he write about that will be an interesting read.
