Former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has been taken into the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It was gathered that Ortom was invited for questioning by the anti-graft agency for alleged misappropriation of funds, a month after leaving office.
The ex-Benue State governor arrived at the Abuja office of the EFCC yesterday morning and was sighted walking into the building of the anti-graft agency.
Benue State is said to have a debt profile of N187.7 billion.
Recall that at a brief ceremony held at the old Banquet Hall of Government House in Makurdi, the State capital, Ortom told his successor that his handover notes in three volumes were a summary of his eight years of administration.
