Ex Zamfara Governor Yari
Nigeria's Anti-graft Agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari.
According to Daily Nigerian, armed operatives of the commission surrounded Yari’s Maitama, Abuja residence before gaining entry to arrest him.
Although the spokesman for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was not briefed about the incident, sources at the commission confirmed the arrest.
Other sources told Premium Times that Yari’s arrest is in connection with the agency’s ongoing investigation of the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.
Idris was suspended following his arrest by the EFCC on May 16 over allegations of money laundering through real estate investments amounting to N80 billion.
