With the ongoing probe of the suspended AGF by the EFCC, the latest revelation made the alleged money laundering involving Idris and former governor of Zamfara state, Abdul-Azeez Yari, a total of N170 billion.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arrested the former governor, Abdul’aziz Yari.
