"Police are under pressure to release Omo-Agege," the source said.

"People in the Presidency and Senators close to the Presidency have been calling the IG to release him.

"The IG is torn between allowing due process to be followed, or releasing an ally of the President. The AGF is also torn between filing charges against him, or letting it just slide," the source added.

When contacted, president spokesman, Garba Shehu, however, declined comments on the matter.

Similarly, Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, was not available for comments on the matter as calls placed to his cellphone were unsuccessful.
