"I did not beat my wife to coma in UK" – Gabriel Suswam Cries Out

Former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam has described as baseless the news making the rounds on the blogsphere that he was arrested in the United Kingdom for allegedly beating his wife, Yemisi to coma during a squabble.



A local blogger in the state claimed that

Suswam who left the shores of Nigeria few days after handing over to Samuel Ortom reportedly injured his wife during the brawl which landed him in the police net.



In a swift reaction via his official Facebook account, the former governor called on the general public to disregard the rumour, saying that there's no iota of truth in the story.



He posted:



"my attention has been drawn to

news making rounds on social media that I was arrested in London last week. That report is full of mischief and aimed at slandering me and my dear wife.



"Disregard any news about a squabble between me and my dear wife. We're fine, enjoy your day.
