The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has detained Ramalan Yero, former governor of Kaduna, Nuhu
Somo Wya, former minister of state for power, and two others.
They were detained on Wednesday
by the Kaduna zonal office of the EFCC over the N700m campaign funds released
by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2015 general election.
Also held in detention are
Abubakar Gaya Haruna, former Kaduna state PDP chairman, and Ishaq Hamza, former
secretary to the Kaduna state government during Yero’s tenure
The detainees have been reporting
to the zonal office of the EFCC for the past two months in line with the
procedure for investigations.
TheCable understands that the
commission decided to detain them on Wednesday in order to arraign them in
court on Thursday.
“The case is coming up tomorrow;
so I can confirm to you that the former governor is here with us and he will be
arraigned at the courts with the three others” an EFCC source said.
Kamaludeen Gebi, spokesperson of
the EFCC Kaduna office, was unavailable to comment on the development.
The former governor and the
others were interrogated for hours last week by operatives of the EFCC.
