A former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal has regained his freedom from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

This was announced by the anti-graft agency.

Recall that the EFCC had on Monday, August 11, invited and later on detained the former governor who is alleged to have fraudulently withdrawn some cash to the tune of N189 billion when he held sway as a governor of his State.

Sources in the commission says Tambuwal was granted administrative bail and is expected to leave the commission's headquarters this night after perfecting his bail conditions.
