EFCC arrests former Benue Governor, Gabriel Suswan

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, reportedly arrested the immediate past governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswan, over alleged corruption during his tenure as governor. Suswam who governed the state between 2007 and May 2015 was in the morning being quizzed at the EFCC office in Abuja over alleged graft in his state. A call put across to spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Wilson Uwajuren, went through but was picked by another officer who promised that the spokesman would get back to DAILY POST on the clarification sought as soon as he is on seat. But he was yet to respond as the time this report. Suswam had on Saturday stated in a statement obtained by DAILY POST that he was ready to face the anti-graft agencies. The ex-governor also insisted that his predecessor, Samuel Ortom should extend his probe to George Akume’s government which lasted between 1999-2007. He asked those he had offended in the course of governance to forgive him, saying that in life, one cannot avoid crossing the lines. SOURCE : DAILY POST
