Ex-Benue Gov Ortom Faces EFCC for Questioning

The immediate past Benue Governor Samuel Ortom is in the Makurdi office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following an invitation. Ortom arrived at the Makurdi zonal office of the anti-graft agency located at Alor Gordon Street, around at 10 am on Tuesday.

It was gathered that the former Governor was invited over ongoing investigation into alleged financial misappropriation during his tenure. The former Governor’s media aide, Terver Akase and Principal Special Assistant on Special Duties, Abraham Kwanhgu, were sighted with him.

It would be recalled that the former Governor had before leaving office promised to remain in the country for at least five months to answer any questions that might flow from his eight years of being on the saddle. He also promised to present himself before anti-graft agencies if invited for questioning on any issue whatsoever.
