Former Benue State Governor,Gabriel Suswan denies beating his wife in London.

Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswan, Sunday said he was not arrested in London for wife beating.

His lawyer, P.H. Ogbole, who spoke in Abuja yesterday called on friends and family of the former governor to disregard the publications claiming that Suswam was arrested in the United Kingdom for beating up his wife, Yemisi.

While threatening to take legal action against those behind the falsehood, Suswam described publication alleging that he beat his wife as a calculated attempt to smear his image.

Reports circulated on the social media last week, alleging that the former governor was arrested in London by the Metropolitan Police for beating his wife over an argument about his mistress.

The report added that he was released on bail.
But Suswam however denied all the allegations which he said were the handiwork of his enemies.

He said: “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.”

On the claim that Yemisi’s trauma was as result of the overbearing influence of her mistress, one Shidoo, Suswam said the imaginary mistress “exists only in the figment of the writers’ imagination.”

He added that while he had always considered himself most fulfilled among men when it comes to matrimonial life, his wife, “Yemisi is not only a quintessence of physical beauty, as they they themselves would helplessly admit“She is a capsule portrait of feminine perfection. So, what else would a man desire for himself as an ideal woman to warrant any thought of a second wife?

“Sponsors of negative reports and their agents against me and my family should desist from their infamous act and pursue worthwhile venture. They should know that the campaign of calumny cannot stand the test of time as my reputation and integrity are intact. My humble self, my wife and children are living in harmony,” he stated.

The former governor also refuted another report alleging that his wife and her associates drove in two large trucks to the Benue State Liaison Office in Abuja, with the intent to cart away all the expensive furnishings.

In the statement personally signed by him and made available to journalists from Germany yesterday, Suswam said it was still the recent series of unsubstantiated ‘Tales by Moonlight’ designed to portray the former First as descending so low.
