Akanni was released on Wednesday, March 23, and hospitalised at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja following his claimed deteriorated health condition.

The lawmaker arrived Ado Ekiti, the state capital, on Thursday, March 24, amid rousing welcome by the people of the state and Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The Ekiti State House of assembly has however demanded an unreserved apology from the DSS and indicated plans to sue the Service and the Federal Government for 'unlawfully' detaining its member.

Akanni was arrested by the DSS on March 4, 2016, for alleged security breach, and was detained at the headquarters of the agency in Abuja until yesterday.

According to the Ekiti State Government, he was denied access to his lawyer and family. The Government therefore rumoured that Akanni had died in DSS custody.

Following viral media reports about the lawmaker's "death," the DSS was however forced to present Akanni to newsmen alive to dispel the death rumour.
