Ubani had maintained his innocence over Olejeme’s disappearance, insisting that she absconded after the EFCC raided her home.

He also stated that his decision to stand as surety for Olejeme was because he compelled her to return to Nigeria to face the charges against her and that all effort to secure her bail was frustrated by the EFCC.

Ubani was released at about 11am on Thursday.
