Ex-Gov Suswam transferred N3.1bn into my account, witness tells court

An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s star witness on Friday alleged that Gabriel Suswam, former Governor of Benue, transferred N3.1 billion into his account.

Mr Abubakar Umar,  an Abuja-based Bureau De Change (BDC) Operator, told Justice Okon Abang at the Federal High Court, Abuja that the money was transferred through a company, Elixir Investment, in bits into his company, Fanffash Resources at the Zenit Bank.

They were accused by the EFCC of diverting the money which was said to be part of the proceeds of the sale of some shares of Benue State in a company.

Sen. Suswam, a former Governor of Benue State, presently represents Benue North-East Senatorial District.

The trial is still ongoing before Justice Abang.
