The former governor of Benue State Mr. Gabriel Suswam
was last week arrested in London for battery charges.
Per Second News gathered from close family sources
that Metropolitan Police Domestic Violence Officers
booked Mr. Suswam into the London detention center for
several hours and a judge set a £5000 bail bound for the
former governor which he met before being released.
Police arrested the embattled Suswam in his luxury
London home after Police received a distressed 999 call
from his wife Yemisi the former first lady of Benue state.
She told a dispatcher over the phone that she feared for
her life after being physically assaulted by her husband
over a heated argument relating to Suswam's mistress
Shidoo.
A family source told the police that Suswam hit Yemisi
severally and inflicted injuries on her over Shidoo's
overbearing influence on Mr. Suswam.
Battery is an offence under the UK law against the
Persons Act of 1861.
Suswam faces a prison term not exceeding six months.
A close family source who spoke to our correspondent
disclosed that the British Police are prevailing on Mrs.
Suswam to press charges against her husband who the
source said is in the habit of abusing her often.
The former Benue First Lady's trauma our correspondent
gathered stemmed from the overbearing influence of
Suswam's mistress Shidoo who has taking over the
former governor's home as his wife.
Yemisi, the family source added has severally been
assaulted by the governor over the years before Shidoo
came into his life.
Shidoo, according to close family source in the know has
a child for Suswam and that irked the former first lady to
see her losing grip of her husband to a mistress who has
vowed to marry Suswam.
Per Second News gathered that the former governor had
repeatedly declared to Yemisi his wife that he would
officially marry Shidoo,as a wife
Investigations pieced together by Per Second News
reveal that Shidoo who works at NAFDAC was the go to
for Tiv people trying to reach out to the governor while he
was in power.
"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, the family source said.
A close family source who spoke to our correspondent
disclosed that the British Police are prevailing on Mrs.
Suswam to press charges against her husband who the
source said is in the habit of abusing the woman at often
times.
If Mrs. Suswam decides to press criminal charges
against her husband, the former governor risk going to
jail under the UK Criminal Justice Act of 1988
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear
whether the Metropolitan Police officials installed
electronic device on him to prevent him from jumping
bail.

Politics / Same S*x Marriage Legalized In All 50 States Of America by Flirtval: 9:17pm On Jun 26, 2015
The US Supreme Court today June 26th ruled that
same-s*x marriages must be recognized in all 50 states
of the United States of America. Texas will probably
appeal.
According To The Washington Post
The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory
for gay rights, ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires
that same-s*x couples be allowed to marry no matter
where they live and that states may no longer reserve the
right only for heterosexual couples.
People jubilating after the ruling
The court’s action marks the culmination of an
unprecedented upheaval in public opinion and the
nation’s jurisprudence. Advocates called it the most
pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics
said the courts had sent the country into uncharted
territory by changing the traditional definition of
marriage.
“Under the Constitution, same-s*x couples seek in
marriage the same legal treatment as opposite-s*x
couples, and it would disparage their choices and
diminish their personhood to deny them this right,”
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.
He was joined in the ruling by the court’s liberal justices
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia
Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
All four of the court’s most conservative members —
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin
Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. —
dissented and each wrote a separate opinion, saying the
court had usurped a power that belongs to the people.
Politics / National Assembly Crisis: Buhari Backs Apc’s Stand by Flirtval: 5:56am On Jun 26, 2015
The President spoke yesterday on the National Assembly
crisis, saying he expected the All Progressives Congress
(APC) lawmakers to toe the party’s line in the election of
principal officers.
Senate President Bukola Saraki yesterday announced the
names of principal officers and adjourned plenary till
July 21.
President Muhammadu Buhari said: “The party did a
straw poll – an open and transparent one – which
should have been respected. There is no confusion about
anything. The party did a process, the President had
wished that the party would take that to the very end but
that didn’t happen,” presidential spokesman Garba
Shehu said.
“The President has a responsibility to the party; the
President has a responsibility to the nation and as far as
we are looking at the situation, it has not gotten out of
control. It is still within manageable parameters; it is a
little storm. We will overcome and Nigerians better get
used to it,” he added while speaking on Channels
Television.
Although APC senators maintained the peace inspite of
the disagreement of the Senator Ahmed Lawan‘s
supporters with the list of principal officers announced
by Saraki, which is in contradiction to that sent to the
Senate President by the APC, the party rejected Saraki’s
list.
On Saraki’s list are: Senate Leader Ali Ndume (Borno
South), who is standing trial for alleged link to the
terrorist sect, Boko Haram, Bala Ibn Na’Allah (Kebbi)
Deputy Leader and Francis Alimikhena (Edo) Deputy
Chief Whip. The name of the Chief Whip was not read.
Last night, APC National Secretary Mai Mala Buni
issued a statement tittled: “National Assembly crisis:
We stand on our list of principal officers.”
The statement said: “The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has strongly condemned what transpired at both
chambers of the National Assembly on Thursday, June
25th 2015.
“The party stands by the list sent by the party to the
President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
“The National Caucus, Board of Trustees (BOT) and
National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party will
meet within the next few days to discuss the evolving
developments in the National Assembly.”
On the party’s list are Lawan (Majority Leader); Prof.
Sola Adeyeye (Chief Whip); Sen. George Akume (Deputy
Majority Leader); and Sen. Abu Ibrahim (Deputy Chief
Whip).
For the House, the party listed Gbajabiamila (House
Leader); Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa (Deputy House
Leader); M. T. Monguno (Chief Whip) and Hon. Pally
Iriase (Deputy Chief Whip).
The President was expected to show leadership in the
resolution of the crisis, but, according to Shehu, he
offered not to interfere to assert the independence of the
legislature.
He said Buhari provided guidance while he left the APC
leadership and governors to resolve the logjam.
He added: “Politics, as its theory says, is basically about
contest for interests and these interests may be fully
defined by political party programme (while) some of
these things may be outside political party programme.”
”They just cannot file up in a single line and say ‘here
we are, we are all present’.
“When the governors met with the President, they told
him that ‘we are the leaders in our states and we have
influence over all of these senators. They come from our
places and from us and we can handle it.
“The President mostly listened to what they were saying
and in fairness to them, the governors took responsibility
for the way forward.
“They advised the President to maintain his posture not
to be seen to be meddling in the affairs of the National
Assembly; ‘stay above it and allow us to handle it’ and I
think this is what you saw coming from the governors.”
“As a leader, the President has given guidance… His own
position is that if the eye troubles you, whatever
medicine you’re going to apply, don’t put a pin. The
President is not unconcerned.”
As a result of tension in the National Assembly, state
chairmen of APC were locked in a meeting last night in
Abuja.
No fewer than 28 of the 36 chairmen were in Abuja.
A source said: “The chairmen were shocked that the
party’s directive was disrespected by Senators and
Representatives.”
