 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.

AFGHANISTAN RESTORES INTERNET AFTER TWO DAYS OF DISRUPTION AND FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS. (PHOTO).



Afghanistan restores internet after two days of disruption and flight cancellations


Internet service in Afghanistan was restored on Wednesday following a two-day blackout that disrupted daily life, grounded flights, and paralyzed the economy. The outage halted transportation systems, banking services, and health care, while cell phone networks were also suspended, leaving residents largely cut off from communication.

The Taliban government, which seized control in 2021 after U.S. forces withdrew, has yet to provide a clear explanation for the outage. Afghan officials offered conflicting statements, with one spokesperson for the Ministry of Telecommunications saying the reason for the shutdown was still unknown. The blackout followed an earlier partial restriction ordered on September 16 in roughly half of the country, justified by a Taliban governor as a measure “for the prevention of vices.” Full mobile and Internet access was suspended on Monday. In Kabul, residents expressed relief at the restoration, with people across the city, including women and Taliban members, using their phones to reconnect with relatives.

For many Afghan women, the Internet serves as a vital lifeline, particularly after the Taliban banned girls over 12 from attending school and restricted women’s employment opportunities. The shutdown also created urgent crises, as in the case of Jawad Mohammadi, who traveled to Kabul from Mazar-i-Sharif to secure surgery for his brother. With banks closed, Mohammadi struggled to gather the required upfront payment for the procedure. “The hospital refuses to proceed with the operation unless we pay in advance. I have no other options and don’t know what to do,” he said, illustrating the severe consequences of the disruption.
