They were detained on Wednesday by the Kaduna zonal office of the EFCC over the N700m campaign funds released by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2015 general election.

Also held in detention are Abubakar Gaya Haruna, former Kaduna state PDP chairman, and Ishaq Hamza, former secretary to the Kaduna state government during Yero’s tenure
