 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.

AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF AND FOUR JOURNALISTS KILLED IN ISRAELI STRIKE OUTSIDE GAZA CITY. (PHOTO).


 Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and four journalists killed in Israeli strike outside Gaza City

Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and four colleagues were killed in an Israeli strike on a tent used by reporters outside al-Shifa Hospital near Gaza City, according to the network. The attack claimed seven lives in total, including correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. The strike was confirmed by the Israeli military and multiple news organizations.

Israeli officials accused the 28-year-old al-Sharif of being a Hamas operative involved in rocket attacks, a claim rejected by Al Jazeera. Al-Sharif was a prominent correspondent for Al Jazeera Arabic, reporting extensively from northern Gaza since the conflict began. Moments before his death, he posted a video on X showing intense Israeli bombardment in Gaza City’s eastern and southern areas, with explosions audible in the background. In a final post, he wrote, “If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.”

Images shared by photographers showed al-Sharif’s severely burned body being cared for by Palestinian emergency workers. Al Jazeera has condemned the Israeli military for a “campaign of incitement” against its journalists, particularly targeting al-Sharif. Last month, the Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concern for his safety.

Since the war began in October, more than 200 journalists and media workers have died in Gaza, including several from Al Jazeera and their relatives. Israel has frequently accused Palestinian reporters of militant ties, a charge critics say is intended to discredit coverage of the conflict.
