Ex Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, in a new statement, has denied reports that he battered his wife in London, over which he was briefly arrested and detained by the police.

In an official statement, the immediate past former governor of Benue State, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, has denied reports that he battered his wife in London, over which he was briefly arrested and detained by the police.

The ex governor also denied that his wife, Yemisi, looted the state treasury while he was governor of the state and described the reports, which went viral online last week, as the handiwork of elements bent on tarnishing his image for political reasons.

Reports which made headlines online alleged that he was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Domestic Violence Officers, for battering his wife and was booked into the London detention centre for several hours before a judge set a £5,000 bail bond, which he met, before he was released.

“This fictitious report about the incident involving me in London is full of red herring because the allegations are false, unless the authors still have plans to later inform the public that it was a home video.

Since I and my beloved wife left the shores of Nigeria, we have never been to London. Unknown to the author of mischief, I was in Germany on a private trip with my wife at the material time. So where did the author of the said report and his fairy tale sources get their information from that I was arrested in London, when I was actually in Germany with my wife on vacation?

I also wish to ask the masterminds of this outlandish incident to disclose the street and the number of my London house, where the alleged assault took place as every house in London has identity.”
