 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.

SHEIKH GUMI URGES GOVT TO NEGOTIATE RELEASE OF 287 ABDUCTED KADUNA SCHOOL-CHILDREN. (PHOTO).


 Sheikh Gumi Urges Government To Negotiate Release Of 287 Abducted Kaduna Schoolchildren


Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, said security agents know the hideout of bandits terrorising Nigerians, particularly in the northern parts of the country.


Gumi revealed this during an interview on Nigeria Info FM on Monday evening, saying that the security agents followed him to negotiate with the bandits.


The controversial cleric said the federal government should negotiate with the kidnappers who abducted about 287 schoolchildren from Kuriga Government Secondary and LEA Primary Schools in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State because it is the only reasonable way to ensure the safe return of the pupils.


He argued that negotiation does not necessarily mean money will be paid to the kidnappers; it might be releasing prisoners for captives.


Speaking further, he said bandits are just marginalised Nigerians, who don’t have access to education, good roads, water, and other social amenities.


Echoing his longtime sentiment, Gumi said the government should grant bandits amnesty like they did in the Niger Delta region to end insecurity in the North.


When asked about why it was easy for him to locate and meet with the bandits while security agents struggle with their location, Gumi said the security agents are not being truthful because they always follow him to negotiate with the kidnappers.


“I don’t think they (security agents) are truthful with you. When I go, I go with them; I don’t go alone,” he said.


Speaking on the identities of the bandits, Gumi said they are mainly herdsmen, who are largely Nigerians with few foreigners.
