The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) will formally arraign a former governor of Benue
state, Gabriel Suswam, before an Abuja court tomorrow,
November 4.
The anti-graft agency had on Monday October 2, filed
a nine-count charge bordering on money laundering to
the tune of N3.1billion at a Federal High Court,
Abuja.
According to Premium Times, Suswam and his
former finance commissioner, Omodachi Okolobia, are
alleged to have diverted proceeds of the sale of shares
owned by the Benue state government and Benue
Investment and Property Company Limited.
The offence, the EFCC says, is punishable under
section 15(3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition)
Act 20111, as amended in 2012.
After the EFCC arrested Suswam, he was set free in
the evening of October 12. He reportedly has been been
quizzed for several hours.
