The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has released Rochas Okorocha after two nights in detention.
The former governor of Imo state was released on Thursday, April 15, 2021.
Okorocha, who was arrested for alleged embezzlement and misappropriation of funds is presently at his Maitama residence in Abuja.
His successor, Hope Uzodimma petitioned the anti graft agency accusing Okorocha of money laundering.
In February, the lawmaker accused Uzodinma of unleashing the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, against him.
Okorocha refuted the allegations, saying the state government had not been able to prove corruption allegations against him and his family in court.
