The ex-governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, for his involvement in the looted N84 billion by the Accountant-General of the Federation, AGF, Ahmed Idris, who is being detained.
The ex-governor, according to a top EFCC source, was arrested at about 5 pm, yesterday, with the managing director of a firm known as Finex Professional.
The former governor is mentioned as having benefitted to the tune of N22 billion out of the N84 billion, which the suspended AGF is being accused of stealing.

The huge cash is said to have been paid to one Akindele, whose full identity is yet to be unveiled to the public, and it will also be recalled that the anti-graft agency had last week hauled the embattled AGF into its custody for allegedly making away with N84 billion, a development that forced the government to suspend him from office and announce an acting Accountant-General.
