Zamfara gov Abdulaziz Yari

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday interrogated a former governor of Zamfara State Abdulaziz Yari over suspicious financial dealings.

This comes about a week after the Federal High Court, Abuja ordered the final forfeiture of funds belonging to Yari domiciled in Zenith and Polaris banks to the Federal Government.

While $56, 056.75 was lodged in Polaris Bank, N12.9 million, N11.2m, $303m, N217, 388.04 and $311.8m were kept in different Zenith Bank accounts in the name of Yari and his companies.

It was gathered that Yari was also interrogated on Tuesday.

EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren said the ex- governor was grilled in Lagos, adding that he has been released to go home.
