Abdulaziz Yari, a former governor of Zamfara State and senator representing Zamfara West, is being questioned by Department of State Services agents. The reason for his imprisonment and interrogation is unknown at this time.
According to a source close to the member, Yari reported to the secret police office following plenary on Thursday.
According to the source, he escorted the congressman to the DSS office to honor its invitation.

“Senator Yari is still in the DSS custody, but he should be out soon in sha ’Allah. He went to their office himself after the plenary. I escorted him there and he has been there since then,” the source said.
He did not, however, explain why the politician was invited by the security service.
Newsmen reveal, Yari was arrested by the secret police after getting a call from the director-general, Yusuf Bichi, to report to the DSS headquarters for an urgent discussion.
