Mukhtar Ramalan Yero
Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, the immediate past Kaduna State governor, has
been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over
allegations that he collected N700million from a slush fund former
Nigeria's oil minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke deposited at Fidelity
Bank.
According to SaharaReporters, EFCC sources revealed that Yero was
implicated when two suspects earlier arrested by the anti-corruption
agency revealed that he collected N700million from the loot.
The report further revealed that the former governor spent the
night at the zonal office of the EFCC where he allegedly confessed to
receiving the money.
However, he claimed the money had already been shared with members
of the People’s Democratic Party in 23 local government areas of the
state for “election logistics”.
