Yari Remains In Custody As EFCC Release Suspended AGF, Idris
A former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari remains in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission days after he was arrested by operatives of the commission at his Abuja residence.
Yari was arrested by EFCC in connection with the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.
The former Governor was arrested by EFCC hours after he won the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC ticket for Zamfara West senatorial election.
While Yari remains in the custody of the anti-graft agency, EFCC has released Idris who has since reunited with his family.
Idris was released from the custody of the commission on administrative bail.
The EFCC has been investigating the accountant-general for allegedly misappropriating N80 billion.
However, Yari who was linked to the investigation is yet to be released due to the inability to provide necessary details regarding the probe, a senior official at the commission confirmed.
The official of the commission who spoke with Daily Trust said, “I can authoritatively confide in you that Yari is still very much around with us.
“He’s still providing us necessary details on how over N100bn disappeared from the suspended accountant-general of the federation who has just been released.”
