 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.

SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN FACES COURT IN SENATE SUSPENSION CASE. (PHOTO).


 Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Faces Court in Senate Suspension Case


Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday for a hearing in a lawsuit challenging her suspension from the Senate over alleged misconduct. The case, reassigned to Justice Binta Nyako after Justice Obiorah Egwuatu’s withdrawal, centers on claims of bias raised by one of the parties involved.


Akpoti-Uduaghan named the National Assembly, the Senate, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Senator Neda Imasuem, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct, as defendants in her motion.


During Monday’s session, Jibrin Okutekpa (SAN), counsel for the suspended senator, confirmed that all required documents had been filed as directed by the court. Paul Daudu (SAN), representing the Senate, and Ekwo Ejembi, counsel for Akpabio, also submitted their documents but raised a motion accusing Akpoti-Uduaghan of disobeying a court order. They alleged that on March 27, the senator posted a satirical letter of apology to Akpabio on her Facebook page and published it in national dailies, violating court directives.


Michael Numan (SAN), representing Akpoti-Uduaghan, denied the allegations, stating the letter had no connection to his client and lacked relevance to the case. He also referenced a prior motion filed by the plaintiff accusing the defendants of similar disobedience.


Ekwo Ejembi Eko, Akpabio’s counsel, argued that the senator’s Facebook post mocked the court’s authority, citing a motion filed on May 5. In her counter-affidavit, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of attempting to suppress her free speech. She clarified that her letter, which addressed sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, was unrelated to the suspension case before the court.
