Babalele, who was arrested by EFCC operatives at his Maitama, Abuja, home last Saturday, was released late last night.
The Cable reports that Babalele Abdullahi was released after the anti-graft agency invited Tanimu Turaki, a senior lawyer who is leading the defence team of Atiku to sign a bail document for him (Abdullahi).
It was gathered that Abdullahi was released after he was granted administrative bail by the commission. However, Turaki who is also the deputy director-general of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation was detained by the EFCC.
Mr Tony Orilade, the spokesperson for EFCC, confirmed the development.
