Post created on 9:27 am

The former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, has been released from the Department of State Services, after days of grilling.

This was disclosed by a close source to the former governor on Sunday.

“His Excellency has been released by DSS after about days of detention by the DSS,” the source said.

An online publication had reported that Yari was arrested by the DSS after receiving a call from the director-general, Yusuf Bichi, to report at the agency headquarters for an urgent discussion.

On Saturday when Yari’s phone was reached, it was switched off.

Yari went against the All Progressives Congress 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 rumoured to be gathering much momentum in the senate and among all his colleagues which have unsettled the senate president, Akpabio.
