The Department of State Services, DSS, on Wednesday explained why it has continued to hold the immediate past governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, in custody.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Tony Opuiyo, the secret police said the former governor had failed to cooperate with its investigators.

The secret police said Suswam’s continued detention which had lasted for over a month was legal.

Opuiyo said, “The case of former Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, is typical.

“The Service has continued to hold him 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.”

DSS stressed that it has “valid detention warrants” to keep Suswam, adding that “he will be charged accordingly, once the investigations are concluded.”

Recall that the secret police had on February 2017 arrested the former governor over allegations of fraud and illegal possession of arms.

Operatives of the DSS had recovered from weapons from Suswam’s Abuja property during his arrest.

Weapons recovered included, Glock pistol with two magazines and a total of 29 rounds of ammunition, Mini-Uzi with two magazines containing 10 rounds and four rounds respectively; forty-two (42) extra rounds of ammunition contained in a pack; and one AK-47 rifle.

Other items recovered include, twenty-one Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) and one (1) Offer of Statutory Right of Occupancy; 23 luxury designer watches; and 45 keys to various exotic cars were also said to have been recovered from the property.

We Need To Learn To Speak In Clearer Terms In Nigeria. I Wonder Who Else Is Wondering What Dss Means By He's Not Cooperating. You Know He Has A Facility, The Facility Has Large Amounts Of Arms, What Next? So You Expect A Map And A Bunch Of Keys From A Man With Ammunitions Abi?

Are they holding him because of these or for other reasons the EFCC aren't telling us

I won't be surprised if it's got to do with Fulani herdsmen massacres in Benue.

Nice, I had been wondering when people will read between the lines , DSS holding him for a month because he has ammunitions and committed fraud ?

What we have now is Daura Secret Service doing the bidding of the Fulanis and the cabal.

Some ordinary citizens will have even more than such 'ammunitions' for personal security not to talk of a former governor. And is it a crime for the man have properties too though I am not supporting him if he's corrupt but the excuses the DSS gave is nonsensical.

By the time Buboo and his gang finishes with Nigeria every agency of government will be in disarray.
