Former Zamfara state Governor, Senator Ahmad Yerima on Wednesday appeared before the Independent Investigative Panel on alleged human rights violation by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other units of the Nigerian Police following his summon over alleged complicity in threatening the life of a businessman, Alhaji Musa Wapa.
Yerima was summoned by the panel to answer to allegations that he mobilised some Police Officers to arrest, torture and detain the Katsina State-born businessman over a claim of N23million.
At the resumed hearing in the matter on Wednesday, Garba Tetengi SAN, who stood in for the Chairman of the Panel Justice Suleiman Galadima, inquired if the parties (Alhaji Wapa and Sen. Yerima) are ready to settle the case amicably and report the terms of settlement to the panel.
