A Transition Committee set up by Governor Muhammed Bello of Zamfara state has alleged that the immediate past governor of the state, Abdulaziz Yari misappropriated the sum of two hundred and fifty two point nine billion naira.
The Chairman of the Transition Committee and immediate past Deputy Governor of the state, Ibrahim Wakkala announced this to newsmen.
Wakkala said his committee while trying to ascertain the liabilities left behind by the immediate past administration of Abdulaziz Yari, collected and went through the report submitted by a transition committee earlier set up by the former Governor.
He said that the outgone administration which released the sum of two billion naira for the payment of gratuity to retired workers only paid four hundred million naira to retired Permanent Secretaries, while the remaining balance of one point six billion naira had remained unaccounted.
Reacting to the allegations, the Special Adviser to the former governor, Ibrahim Dosara, described them as baseless and do not hold water.
