Dokubo-Asari was arrested in the neighbouring country on Tuesday, his lawyer Festus Keyamo, said.
Keyamo confirmed the release on Thursday morning.
The ex-militant was said to have been released at about 1am Nigerian time on Thursday.
NigerianEYE can confirm that the Niger Delta warlord was flown to Abuja in a presidential jet immediately after his release.
Keyamo had on Wednesday evening asked President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene and ensure the armed activist was released from Benin.
Dokubo, who once bragged openly that his arrest will lead to the demise of Nigeria spent 36 hours with the Beninoise gendarmes before his release around 1 AM Nigerian time today.
