Serious Trouble
After his arrest, the Metropolitan
Police Domestic Violence Office
initially held him at its London
detention centre. He was later
released on £5,000 bail.
According to nigeriancurrent.com,
Suswam’s wife Yemisi placed an
emergency call to the police from
their luxury London home to report
that the embattled governor had
physically assaulted her.
She explained to the police
dispatcher that during a minor
argument in which she condemned
her husbands questionable
relationship with mistress ‘Shidoo’,
Suswam battered her which
prompted her to run for her life.
If found guilty, the ex-governor could
be jailed for about six months in the
UK under the Persons Act of 1861.
It was alleged Shidoo is beginning to
gain more influence in the life of the
ex-governor and as a result, Suswam,
who has allegedly previously
attacked his wife, increased the
tempo.
In fact, a close family source
revealed that Suswah had always told
Yemisi he would legally marry
Shidoo.
A family source described Shidoo as
a very loving woman. “She was
always helpful to the Benue people
and that was what endeared her to
our people. She was always ready to
help. If any Benue person needed
something from the former governor,
Shidoo was always ready to help” , he
said.

Controversy In Benue State
Like most governors, Suswam owns a
permanent home in London which he
visited while in office and has
relocated to now that he has retired.
It was reported that the ex-governor
sought refuge in the UK after he had
ruled Benue state for eight years, in
order to avoid the Economic and
Financial Crimes Comission.
