The former governor was billed for arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday over allegations bordering on money laundering to the tune of N3 billion. The anti-graft agency on Wednesday disclosed that it was set to arraign Suswam after it filed a nine-count charge against him last month at a Federal High Court in Abuja. In a statement, the anti-graft agency’s spokesperson, Mr Wilson Uwajuren, alleged that Suswam and his former finance commissioner, Omadachi Oklobia, diverted proceeds of the sale of shares owned by the Benue State government and Benue Investment and property Company Limited. The agency said the offence preferred against the former governor was punishable under Section 15 (3) of the Money Laundering (prohibition) Act of 2011 as amended in 2012. It will be recalled that the commission grilled Suwswam and his former finance commissioner for many days last month and they were released on administrative bail. The two men, it was learnt from their interrogators, were shown documents relating to the alleged crimes preferred against them and they were asked to defend themselves to enable the commission to determine their culpability or otherwise.]]>
