“Amosu, Adigun, Gbadebo and others were released on administrative bail because we are not ready yet to charge them to court,” a source told Punch.

“However, they have been cooperating with us and we have recovered (stolen) funds from them. So, we have asked them to go to enable them to get more money.

“We have released them but we seized the passports of some of them while others were released based on the credibility of their sureties. Also, the holding charge we obtained from the court to keep them in custody had elapsed," the source added.

The EFCC had earlier seized properties worth over N5bn from Amosu and the other officers in connection with its investigation into the scam.
