The monarch was released to Ede Dafinone, the senator representing Delta Central, who stood as his surety, Punch reports.
However, the NA’s spokesman noted that Ikolo’s release did not amount to exoneration but was only facilitated after Senator Dafinone testified to his character.
Vanguard reports that Senator Thomas Joel Onowakpo, on Wednesday, April 17, appealed for the release of the detained traditional ruler when he met with the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Gwabin Musa, in Abuja.
