The AGF has been in the EFCC custody since May 16, facing investigators over allegations of corruption to the tune of N80 billion.

Investigators are said to be working with the lead that he allegedly conspired with others to steal public funds which, by his role, he was meant to safeguard.

Sources say Yari is a suspected accomplices in the alleged N80bn fraud. The sources adds that suspicious transactions ensued between Idris and Yari “in the area of N20 billion.”

While EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said he was not briefed about the incident, other sources at the commission confirmed Yari’s arrest.
