DSS Releases Suswam After 71 Days In Detention

Suswam was released based on self-recognition, but agreed to honour the DSS invitation whenever he is needed, a source close to the former governor confirmed.

The ex-governor was arrested on February 25 on allegations of illegal possession of firearms and corruption.

The DSS reportedly recovered cars and firearms in a building in Abuja, both of which are said to belong to him.
