Security detail attached to ex-Benue State First Lady Mrs. Dooshima Suswam have been accused of removing items at the Benue State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.
The building is located at Asokoro District, off Yakubu Gowon Crescent.
A letter sent to the Permanent Secretary, Government House, Makurdi, by the Liaison Officer of the Lodge, Mr. Samuel Orchir, which was obtained exclusively by The Nation, alleged that the items were removed on May 29.
The letter said: “On May 29, a steward at the Governor’s Lodge, Abuja reported that workers of the former First Lady led an orderly (name withheld) and other security details to remove six TV sets, four refrigerators, photocopiers and plates.”
According to the letter, other items removed included carpets (rugs) and bedding.
It alleged that ex-Governor Gabriel Suswam and his wife had travelled out of the country before the security details removed the items.
The letter, which was copied to the Chief Security Officer (CSO), Government House, Makurdi, drew the attention of Governor Samuel Ortom to the incident.
