The ex-Chairman of the Pension Reformed Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, has been released from Kuje Correctional Centre.
He was released on Tuesday.
He spent nine months at the correctional centre after he failed to perfect his bail conditions.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Maina alongside his son, Faisal, and a firm, Common Input Property and Investment Limited in October last year for alleged fraud and money laundering.
