The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Sunday arrested a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari and Anthony Yaro, Chairman and managing director of Finex Professional for their alleged role in N84billion fraud involving the suspended Accountant General of the Federation, Idris Ahmed.
ARISE News can exclusively report that Yari who was picked up at about 5pm on Sunday allegedly benefited to the tune of N22bn through Finex Professional, from the N84billion which the former AGF paid one Akindele.
Yari’s arrest comes a day after he won the ticket of the All Progressives Congress to contest the Zamfara West Senatorial District in the 2023 general elections.
