The former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe, has been released following his arrest by operatives of the Department of States Service (DSS) on Thursday.
Okupe, in a statement published on his Twitter handle hours after his arrest, said he was released from the Lagos office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after it was established that he was arrested in error.
The former LP campaign DG added that senior officers of the EFCC in Lagos and Abuja apologized to him for the error.
“I was arrested and detained at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos this morning, 12th Jan, on my way to the UK for medicals after years of my passport being withheld by the FHC Abuja.
