 Setting the Records Straight on  Citizen Asar Michael Sesugh's  Death The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC,  considered it imperative to clear the air on some recent incidents at its Makurdi Zonal Directorate,  Benue State.   Operatives of the Directorate arrested 26 suspected cyber fraudsters on April 28,  2026.  They were profiled and kept in custody for further investigations after obtaining a Remand Order at a Magistrate Court.  Shortly after their arrest,  specifically on May 4,  2026,  three of the suspects sought permission to use the lavatory at the Directorate's  Holding Facility and were permitted.   They cashed in on the opportunity,  broke the toilet's roof and escaped from detention.  Several efforts were made to re- arrest them to no avail. However,  fresh intelligence came on Thursday,  May 21,  2026 that one of the escaped suspects,   As...

LAGOS DENIES DEMOLISHING OTODO GBAME COMMUNITY+CAUTIONS AGAINST SPREADING OF UNVERIFIED NEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

                     The Lagos State Government today thursday denied the unsubstantiated claims being circulated in some sections of the media and on social media of its involvement in the fire incident that took place in Otodo Gbame Community in Lekki area of the State last wednesday.The State Government specifically puntured media reports suggesting that it authorized the burning down of the community,saying that the allegation was far from the truth.The State's Commissioner for Information and Strategy,Mr Steve Ayorinde,in a statement,said the State Government shared in the painful loss of the residents but explained that from Police reports and evaluation by the government,the waterfront community was razed by the fire incident that happened as a result of  the ethic clash that occurred between the Egun and Yoruba residents within the community.Ayorinde said while the Police succeeded in bringing to a halt the deadly clashes which occurred as a result of continued disagreement over tolling and other sundry issues,the large part of the shanties had already been torched and razed down before the combined team of fire brigade and emergency rescue officers got to the scene on the night of Wednesday,November 9th.''It is therefore unfortunate that a few aggrieved persons and fifth columnists will choose to blame the government and law enforcement officers that rose to the occasion in ensuring that the clashes did not degenerate further and more importantly that the arson did not spread into Lekki Phase 1.While we condemn in its entirely every form of crime and jungle justice,it is important to plead caution whenever a human life is involved.So far,there is no indication that the dastardly act being peddled on social media happened anywhere in Lagos State or that it is a recent case.The Police have promised to carry ou further checks and will welcome every useful information,but available information at the moment does not suggest that such killing happened last saturday at either Orile-Iganmu or Badagry.There is no any corpse that fits the description in any area being touted; just as the location of anyone with useful information to corroborate the sad tale being peddled cannot be established'',-Ayorinde.
