One of the suspected accomplices in the N84 billion fraud for which the detained Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, is being investigated, a former Zamfara Gov. Abdullaziz Yari, is now in the EFCC net.

Yari was apprehended about 5.10pm on Sunday along with the Managing Director of a company, Finex Professional.

It was learnt that the former governor has been named as a beneficiary of the N84 billion fraud to the tune of N22 billion.

The former governor allegedly used  Finex Professional as conduit to receive his share of the deal, Persecondnews gathered.

The anti-graft agency had last week hauled up the suspended AGF into its custody after several invitations to appear before it were rebuffed.

Idris had allegedly invested the stolen funds in real estate in Abuja, Lagos, Kano, other parts of the country as well as other countries.
