 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.

 Protest rocks Lagos over hunger, demolitions


Hundreds of demonstrators on Friday took to the streets of Lagos, marching from the Ikeja Bridge to Alausa, the seat of the Lagos State Government, to protest worsening hunger and the ongoing demolition of buildings in Oworonshoki.


The protesters, led by the Take It Back Movement in collaboration with several civil society organisations, said the demolitions have left many residents homeless and deepened the economic hardship faced by low-income families across the state.


According to eyewitnesses, the demonstration began at about 10:00 a.m., with participants assembling as early as 7:30 a.m. at Ikeja Bridge before proceeding toward the State Secretariat in Alausa.


The protesters were seen carrying placards bearing inscriptions such as “Stop the Demolitions,” “End Hunger Now,” and “Government Should Protect the Poor.”


The groups accused the state government of implementing “anti-poor policies,” alleging that the demolition exercises in Oworonshoki and other communities were carried out without sufficient notice or provision of alternative accommodation for displaced families.


Security personnel, including police officers and operatives of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, LNSC, were stationed along major routes leading to Alausa to maintain order and prevent disruptions.


As of the time of filing this report, the protesters had reached the Secretariat complex, chanting solidarity songs and calling for an audience with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu or a representative of his administration to present their grievances.
