Mr Wilson Uwujaren, the Head; Media and Publicity of the Commission, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja that Idris was released after meeting his bail conditions.
“I actually do not have an idea of what the bail conditions are, but all I can tell you is that he has been released after meeting his bail conditions,” he said.
The EFCC arrested the former Accountant-General on May 16, over alleged diversion and money laundering to the tune of N80 billion.
Idris’ arrest was sequel for his failure to honour several invitations by the Commission to answer charges connected to the alleged fraudulent acts.
