Abdulaziz Yari, who served as the governor of Zamfara State and currently holds the position of senator representing Zamfara West, has been released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
One of Yari’s associates, Senator Sumaila Kawu (NNPP, Kano South), disclosed the news of his release.
Senator Kawu, who represents Kano South, shared the update on his Facebook page in the early hours of Sunday.
He wrote, “God the owner of the generation, Senator Yari is free, we thank God, the leader that has no end.”
According to earlier reports, source who accompanied the lawmaker to the DSS office mentioned that he would be released in the near future.
The Source said, “Senator Yari is still in the DSS custody, but he should be out soon in sha ’Allah. He went to their office himself after the plenary. I escorted him there and he has been there since then,” the source said.
Earlier, Peoples Gazette, an online publication, 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.
The details of Yari’s detention were still sketchy at the time of filling this report.
