Suswan&#8217;s elder brother"},"content":{"rendered":"<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Unknown armed men suspected to be loyalists of later militia leader, Terwase Agwaza also known as Gana, Tuesday evening reportedly shot and killed Chief Terkura Suswam, elder brother of the former Benue Governor and the lawmaker representing Benue North-East senatorial district, Senator Gabriel Suswam.<\/p>\n<p>A source in the area who spoke on condition of anonymity told Vanguard that the assailants stormed the building where Chief Suswam was resting with his boy after supervising an ongoing building project, in a Toyota Corolla car and opened fire on both of them, killing them on the spot.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAll I can tell you is that for a long time Chief relocated from Makurdi to Anyiin in Logo LGA his home town where he has been involved in several development works to help his community grow. \u201cHe set up the Ashi Polytechnic in Anyiin, Ashi Radio in Katsina-Ala, Ashi Rice Mill in Anyiin, Micro Finance Bank, and several development projects and ventures to open up the town and help better a lot of the people.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThis evening at about 7pm after supervising a construction work near his private residence in Anyiin alongside his boy, some armed men in a Toyota Corolla popularly known in the area as \u2018dog nyash\u2019, who we suspect could be men of the late Terwase Agwaza also known as Gana, stormed where they were in a building directly opposite his house and gunned them down.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u201cAfter shooting the two of them the gunmen drove off and fled the scene leaving the lifeless bodies of their victims on the ground while people scampered for safety. \u201cAs I speak with you people are fleeing Anyiin and the usually busy commercial area of town has suddenly become deserted. People are fleeing because they felt that if Chief could be killed in such a manner, no one could be sure of who could be the next target.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Catherine Anene could not readily confirm the development saying that she tried to reach the Divisional Police Officer for Logo on phone but he was not audible because he was in a noisy place.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile Chairman of Logo LGA, Mr. Terser Agber who confirmed the assignation of Chief Suswam said the gunmen killed him and his boy on the spot after shooting at them several times. \u201cIt is true that Chief Terkura Suswam has been killed. It happened in his place in Anyiin, at about 7:30. He was killed with his boy in a storey building directly opposite his house. He was standing within the premises inside the fenced building. They pushed the gate open and then shot him and his boy severally. \u201cIt was just the two of them that were in that place when the gunmen attacked and killed them. \u201cThis is a sad day for our people.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Only recently the boys of late Terwase Agwaza also known as Gana vowed that they will kill people in revenge for the killing of their leader. \u201cThey threatened that if they cannot get to Senator Gabriel Suswam they will get at anyone that is close to him or related to him and kill them. \u201cIn fact, they were not afraid, they were calling us on phone threatening that that is what they will do. So they are obviously responsible for this gruesome murder of our brother. It is a sad day for us,\u201d the Chairman added.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unknown armed men suspected to be loyalists of later militia leader, Terwase Agwaza also known as Gana, Tuesday evening reportedly shot and killed Chief Terkura Suswam, elder brother of the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Unknown gunmen kill Ex Gov.
