After his arrest, the Metropolitan Police Domestic
Violence Office initially held him at its London
detention centre. He was later released on £5,000
bail.

According to nigeriancurrent.com, Suswam’s wife
Yemisi placed an emergency call to the police from
their luxury London home to report that the
embattled governor had physically assaulted her.
She explained to the police dispatcher that during a
minor argument in which she condemned her
husbands questionable relationship with mistress
‘Shidoo’, Suswam battered her which prompted her
to run for her life.

If found guilty, the ex-governor could be jailed for
about six months in the UK under the Persons Act of
1861.

It was alleged Shidoo is beginning to gain more
influence in the life of the ex-governor and as a
result, Suswam, who has allegedly previously
attacked his wife, increased the tempo.

In fact, a close family source revealed that Suswah
had always told Yemisi he would legally marry
Shidoo.

A family source described Shidoo as a very loving
woman. “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” , he said.

Like most governors, Suswam owns a permanent
home in London which he visited while in office and
has relocated to now that he has retired.

It was reported that the ex-governor sought refuge in
the UK after he had ruled Benue state for eight years,
in order to avoid the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission.
