A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tanimu Turaki, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A source in the anti-graft agency confirmed this to Channels Television on Tuesday.
According to the source, Babalele Abdullahi, who is the son-in-law to the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has also been released.
Turaki, a former minister and the present Deputy Director General (Administration) the PDP Campaign Organisation, was said to have been arrested on Monday.
On the other hand, Abdullahi, who is the finance director of Atiku’s group of companies, was reportedly arrested on Saturday by EFCC operatives, who stormed his residence in Abuja.
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of not needing Nigerians because they have the military might in a democracy.
Prince Secondus said that the value of Nigerians in a democracy has been diminished because President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling APC, have chosen to use the military to get what Nigerian voters cannot give them.
