After Days In Detention, Former Zamfara Governor Yari Released By DSS

Former governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari, has regained freedom from the Department of State Services (DSS).

The Senator representing Zamfara West was released on Saturday night.

Senator Yari, who was detained and quizzed by operatives of the DSS on Thursday, was released around 11pm.

An online publication Peoples Gazette, had earlier reported that Yari was arrested by the secret police after receiving a call from the Director-General, Yusuf Bichi, to report at the DSS headquarters for an urgent discussion.

It would be recalled that Yari went against the All Progressives Congress (APC) zoning arrangement by contesting the Senate presidency with the party’s choice, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who eventually emerged victorious in the election for the president of the upper legislative chamber.

Yari has been having running battles with his party and others. His party lost his home state, Zamfara, in the March 18 governorship election.
