Sunday Aborisade, Abuja
A former governor of Zamfara State Abdulaziz Yari, has appealed against the judgment of a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja which ordered him to forfeit N248m to the Federal Government.
The Media aide to the former governor, Mayowa Oluwabiyi, said this in a statement in Abuja, on Sunday.
He assured members of the public that the appellate court would vindicate Yari.
Oluwabiyi said Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, last Tuesday, ruled that Yari should forfeit $669,248 and N24.3m to the government.
He, however, said, the court gave Yari, 14 days to show cause why he should not forfeit the money.
