Former governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, has been remanded in prison till June 6 by a Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna on Thursday.
Yero was arraigned alongside former PDP Chairman in Kaduna, Abubakar Gaiya Haruna, a former Minister of State for Power, Nuhu Wya and former Secretary to the State Government, Hamza Ishaq, by EFCC.
The men were all arrested on charges of money laundering and criminal conspiracy to the tune of N700 million.
Justice Mohammed Shuaibu rejected the oral application for bail put forward by Yero’s counsel, Yunus Ustaz Usman (SAN). The applicants were also ordered to be remanded in EFCC custody until a written application for their bail would be filed.
