The Federal Government has released Colonel Nicholas Ashinze, the former Military Assistant to former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
Ashine was released at 2pm on Wednesday.
Ashinge, who has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Military, has already reunited with his family.
A Judge of an Abuja High Court, sitting in Jabi, Justice Yusuf Haliru, had on March 14, 2016 ordered the EFCC and the Nigerian Army to release Ashinze, who served as Military Assistant to Dasuki and Patrick Azazi, when he was NSA.
Ashinze, who was detained before resuming his new posting as Defence Attaché in Germany, has been in detention since December 23, 2015.
In his judgment, Justice Haliru had ordered the anti-graft agency and the Army to immediately release the applicant on self-recognition, saying his detention for over three months without trial was “‎illegal, wrongful, unlawful and constituted a blatant violation of the fundamental rights of the applicant”.
The court also ordered the immediate release of documents and items the anti-graft agency seized from the house of the applicant.
