Mr. Suswam’s arrest follows last Friday’s questioning of the former Benue State Commissioner for Finance, Omadachi Oklobia.
EFCC had invited Oklobia, who served under Mr. Suswam, to defend the allegations which ranges from an illegal diversion of public funds, abuse of office, embezzlement and fraud during Suswam years as governor of Benue state.
Mr Suswam was governor of Benue state between 2007 and 2015.
