A former Minister of Power and Steel, Olu Agunloye, has been released from the Kuje Correctional Centre after meeting his bail condition, Saturday PUNCH gathered.
Our correspondent learnt that Agunloye was released on Friday evening.
The spokesperson Federal Capital Territory Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Adamu Duza, disclosed this to our correspondent.
Duza said, “Agunloye has been released from prison after meeting his bail condition. He was released this evening around 5.30pm.”
A Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the remand of Agunloye in Kuje custodial centre over a $6bn Mambilla hydropower contract.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arraigned Agunloye before the Federal High Court in Abuja where he pleaded not guilty to the charges read against him.
The judge, however, ordered that the embattled former minister be remanded in Kuje custodial centre pending when bail would be granted.
