Embezzlement, Fraud:  Suswam faces EFCC Monday

by Our Reporter

Ex  Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam is expected to appear before the EFCC for interrogation on Monday, October 12.

The anti-graft agency had also invited Mr Omadachi Oklobia, a former Commissioner of finance, who served under Suswam to defend the allegations of diversion of public funds, abuse of office, embezzlement and fraud.

Suswam had  approached a federal high court sitting in Makurdi to stop his predecessor, Samuel Ortom from probing his government.

Mr. Oklobia arrived the EFFC office in Abuja at about 10.00am, where his statement was obtained under caution based on his alleged complicity in the allegations.

Suswam has been highly criticized and accused by the current government of throwing the state into huge debt before leaving office.

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has set up three committees to probe the administration of the immediate past governor, Suswam.

Ortom said the committees were for assets verification, contracts verification and recovery of monies and moveable assets owed and due the government and people of Benue State.
