Intelligence authorities have released the sacked Director General of the Department of Security Service, DSS, Lawal Daura.
His international passport was, however, seized from him.
Daura was shown the exit door and taken into custody, on Tuesday, after ordering the deployment of DSS operatives to lay siege to the National Assembly.
Punch quoted sources as saying that Daura was released, on Wednesday evening, from a Guest House run by the DSS, in Gwarimpa area, of Abuja, where he had been placed on house arrest since acting President Yemi Osinbajo ordered his dismissal on Tuesday.
