“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.
Meanwhile, Peoples Gazette reports that Yari was arrested after receiving a phone call from the DSS director-general, Yusuf Bichi, asking him report at the DSS headquarters for an urgent discussion.
