The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, on administrative bail.
However, his passport is still being held by the anti-graft agency as part of bail conditions.
The former governor was said to have been released on Wednesday but was still in custody because he has yet to meet his bail conditions.
Obiano was arrested last week at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, shortly after handing over to Governor Charles Soludo.
The EFCC explained he was arrested for alleged misappropriation of N5billion Sure-P and N37 billion Security Vote funds, which were withdrawn in cash.
