The seemingly quick release of Jafaru Isa from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is not sitting well with many Nigerians who took to social media to attack President Muhammadu Buhari.
President Muhmmadu Buhari
Asides the People's Democratic Party's angry outburst over the release of President Buhari's associate who was summoned over the $2 billion arms deal, Nigerians have attacked the President over the development.
Fresh reports filtering in is that the chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after he returned N100 million to the anti-graft agency.
In a reaction to the turn of events, Nigerians aired their grieviances on Twitter.
See some of the Tweets below;

If Jafaru Isa can be released from @officialefcc detention within 48 hours and Olisa Metuh is still being held, it is clear what is going on.
WALEOLA @EMIOLAWALEOLA
After Jafaru Isa finished investing the money in Buhari's campaign he now returns it. Okay how about the interest? Deceit.

So Jafaru Isa returned $100 million... Hmmm. Interesting #dasukigate
Mr El-Bonga™ @el_bonga
Having returned the complete N100m as at when due, Jafaru Isa should also be sent to prison. Reason: why did he commit the crime at first?

FLASH: @MBuhari's associate, Jafaru Isa collected N170 million to help Sambo Dasuki buy a property. He has refunded N100m to @officialefcc

Asiwaju @AsiwajuApc
How come Jafaru Isa was released 8hrs after being arrested but Olisa Metuh remains in EFCC custody for the same allegation?
Asiwaju @AsiwajuApc
Just like 1983 when some were jailed & others given house arrest. Jafaru Isa left EFCC quietly while Olisa Metuh & others are still held
ONTV NIGERIA @ONTV_NIGERIA
What do you think of EFCC releasing Buhari's associate Jafaru Isa after refunding 60% of the N170m he received...
Saheed Olu Balogun @olub3
@pmnewsnigeria FG said no plea bargain, now Jafaru Isa is released without appearing before a court. While those granted bail not released

Thank you @officialefcc for releasing Jafaru Isa within 48 hrs, but when will @OlisaMetuhPDP be released. He's been with you for a week.
