 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.

Oscars set to move to YouTube after more than 50 years on ABC 


The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday that the Oscars will move from ABC to YouTube starting in 2029, ending more than 50 years of broadcasts on the network and marking a major shift for the streaming TV industry.

Under the new agreement, YouTube will hold exclusive global rights to the Oscars from the 101st ceremony in 2029 through 2033. The show will stream live worldwide on YouTube’s free app, with U.S. viewers able to watch via YouTube TV. YouTube will also provide a red carpet pre-show, behind-the-scenes coverage during the ceremony, the Oscars nomination announcement, the Governors’ Awards, the Oscars nominees luncheon, and other related content.

The Oscars first aired on NBC in 1953, moved to ABC from 1961 to 1970, briefly returned to NBC from 1971 to 1975, and then remained on ABC from 1976 until the upcoming 100th ceremony in 2028. The move to YouTube will make the ceremony accessible to more than 2 billion viewers globally.

Securing the Oscars is a major coup for YouTube, which has made significant investments in live broadcast rights, including a roughly $2 billion-per-year deal for the NFL’s Sunday Ticket package in 2022. The shift also reflects a broader trend of awards shows moving to streaming platforms as traditional TV audiences decline. The Screen Actors Guild Awards moved from TNT to Netflix in 2024, while the Academy of Country Music Awards left CBS for Amazon Prime Video in 2022.
