—Immediate past governor of
Zamfara State, Abdulazizi Yari Abubakar, has said nothing incriminating was
found when agents of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, raided his
house at Talata Mafara last Sunday.
The governor’s media aide, Malam
Ibrahim Dosara, said in a statement yesterday: “My attention has been
drawn to a story making the round that some operatives of the EFCC have raided
the residence of the former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar,
at Talata Mafara and carted away with some valuables.
“It is in view of this that I
deem it necessary to clarify issues on the matter for the general public to
note.
“It is true that some operatives
of the EFCC were on Sunday, August 3, 2019, at the residence of the former
governor in Talata Mafara.
“Although the reason for their
visit to the house is yet to be known, the former governor ordered that all
rooms and offices in the house be opened for the operatives to conduct their
search.
“On the order of the former
governor, all the rooms and offices in the house were opened for the operatives
to carry out the search. After about five hours of search, the operatives left
the house empty handed.
