Reports from media sources alleges that Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned former Benue State Governor, Mr Gabriel Suswam, before the Federal High Court in Abuja, for alleged money laundering and corruption charges.
Mr Suswam and his former Finance Commissioner, Mr Omodachi Okolobia, were alleged to have diverted the proceeds of the sale of shares owned by the Benue State Government and Benue Investment and Property Company Limited; an offence punishable under Section 15 (3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act as amended in 2012.
The EFCC had previously questioned both men but released them on administrative bail but are now being arraigned before Justice A. R. Mohammed over a 9-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of 3.1 billion Naira.
