Why Suswam remains in our custody – DSS

The Department of State Security, DSS, has explained the continued detention of Gabriel Suswam, former governor of Benue, is due to his refusal to cooperate with interrogators.

The DSS, in a statement by DSS spokesman, Tony Opuiyo, said is it “has continued to hold him (Suswam) in line with the dictates of the law – more so that he has not cooperated on the issues concerning the recovery of large cache of arms at his facilities”.

“While investigation is ongoing on this matter, the Service has valid detention warrants to keep him (Suswam).

“He will be charged accordingly, once the investigations are concluded.”
