A former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam has been summoned to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for interrogation on Monday, October 12, as the anti-graft agency has on Friday, grilled a former Commissioner for Finance of the state, Omadachi Oklobia.
According to Premium Times, Oklobia, who served under Suswam was invited to defend the allegations of diversion of public funds, abuse of office, embezzlement and fraud.
Mr. Oklobia was at the EFFC office in Abuja at about 10.00am, where his statement was obtained under caution based on his alleged complicity in the allegations.
Similarly, Suswam has been highly criticized and accused by the current government of throwing the state into huge debt before leaving office.
Meanwhile, the ex-governor had approached a federal high court sitting in Makurdi to stop his predecessor, Samuel Ortom from probing his government.
