 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.

TENNESSEE INMATE REFUSES TO SELECT EXECUTION METHOD AFTER EARLIER CHOOSING ELECTRIC CHAIR. (PHOTO).


 Tennessee inmate refuses to select execution method after earlier choosing electric chair

Tennessee death row inmate Harold Wayne Nichols declined to choose between the electric chair and lethal injection for his December 11 execution, leaving the state to proceed with lethal injection by default. Nichols, convicted in 1990 of raping and murdering 21-year-old Chattanooga State University student Karen Pulley, has two weeks to change his decision, according to the Tennessee Department of Corrections. Nichols had previously opted for the electric chair in 2020, but his execution was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under state law, inmates convicted before January 1999 may choose electrocution instead of lethal injection.

Tennessee has used the electric chair in only five executions over the past decade, though it remains an option in several other states, including Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina. Nichols’ case comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Tennessee’s execution methods. In 2022, Governor Bill Lee halted executions following revelations that lethal injection drugs had not been properly tested. A subsequent independent review confirmed that none of the drugs used in executions since 2018 met the required standards. The state later adopted a new single-drug protocol using pentobarbital, which is currently being challenged in court. Nichols, who admitted to Pulley’s murder and several other rapes, expressed remorse during his trial, telling jurors that he wished he could “trade places” with his victim.
