DSS Releases Detained Ex-zamfara Governor Yari After Questioning

Former governor of Zamfara state and senator representing Zamfara West Abdulaziz Yari, has regained freedom from the Department of State Services, DSS.

The Senator was released on Saturday night after being detained and quizzed by operatives of the DSS since Thursday.

The reason for his detention and interrogation was not revealed.

According to a source close to the lawmaker, Yari reported at the office of the secret police after plenary on Thursday.

He, however, did not also disclose why the lawmaker was invited by the security agency.

You will recall that Senator Yari went against the All Progressives Congress, APC’s 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.

The DSS or its spokesman, Dr Peter Afunaya is yet to speak on this development.
