EFCC FILES CHARGES AGAINST SUSWAM

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will today arraigned former Benue State Governor, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, before a Federal High Court in Abuja for alleged laundering of about N3.1 billion.

The ex-governor is likely to be arraigned with his former Finance Commissioner, Omodachi Okolobia, depending on his cooperation with the anti-graft agency.
A highly-placed source said: “Barring any last minute hitch, the commission will formally arraign a former governor of Benue State, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, before an Abuja Court on November 4.
“The anti-graft agency on Monday, October 2, 2015, filed a nine-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N3.1 billion at a Federal High Court, Abuja.”
