Former Governor of Kaduna Muktar Yero
Former Governor of Kaduna state Muktar Yero was on Friday released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after over four hours of questioning.
Yero was at the Kaduna EFCC office earlier on Friday for more interrogation on the role which he played in the disbursement of the N750million PDP campaign fund before the 2015 general election.
He was interrogated alongside the former Kaduna state PDP Chairman, Haruna Gaya and former Secretary to the state government, Hamza Ishaq.
The former governor and two others were later released on administrative bail after answering questions from EFCC operatives.
Commenting on the development, the spokesman of the former governor, Yakubu Lere, absorbed Yero of any wrongdoing in connection with the disbursement of the campaign fund, alleging that Yero is being politically blackmailed.
