The former governor of Benue State Gabriel Suswam is facing the legal/financial crime battle of his life at Federal High Court Abuja, before Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed.

Abubakar Umar, who was the 4^th witness on March 24, 2021, disclosed how he has allegedly given the sum of $15.8m to Gabriel Suswam at his Abuja residence. In his words, “I don’t know Elixir but sometime in August 2014, Suswam called me to his house in Maitama and introduced me to a lady and asked me to give her my account details.

“Suswam said when I see the money, I should give him the Dollar equivalent which I did, amounting to $15.8m while using N197 as exchange rate. I handed over the Dollars in cash to Suswam at his residence in Abuja.”
