Why we raided former Zamfara gov’s home — EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission  has said it raided the residence of former Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari,  following the  allegations of economic and financial crimes levelled against him, the News agency of Nigeria reports.

Acting spokesman for the anti-corruption body, Tony Orilade,  said this in an interview with NAN  in Abuja on Monday.

NAN reports that the EFCC raided the home of the  former chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum  on Sunday night.

Orilade said, “What we fight is economic and financial crimes. Whatever allegations we have should be centred around economic and financial crimes.”

Yari  becomes the second  personality  whose home was  raided this year by  the  EFCC after his tenure expired.

The agency raided some properties allegedly owned   by the immediate past Imo State  Governor Rochas Okorocha recently.
