 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.

 Senegal suspends extradition deal with France


Senegal has "decided to suspend" all extraditions to France, Dakar's justice minister said, accusing Paris of refusing to hand over two Senegalese citizens to the West African country.


The row comes after the French courts postponed a decision last month on whether to return a Senegalese press baron, and as Dakar seeks the extradition of a businessman under investigation for financial irregularities.


"We have two Senegalese nationals in France. France, up to now, has not returned them to Senegal, which has provided all the justifications and continues to request their extradition," Justice Minister Yassine Fall told parliament on Thursday, without specifying who the two people were.


As a result of France's non-cooperation, Senegal will refuse to extradite 12 people wanted by France "until France responds favourably to what we have requested", Fall said, AFP reported.


"If these people are guilty of crimes, we arrest them. We do not do as France does. We do not let them remain free," the minister added.


A French appeals court in late November asked Dakar for details on the country's request to extradite media magnate Madiambal Diagne, who fled to France in late September and is subject to a Senegalese arrest warrant over alleged financial irregularities.


Two journalists were arrested in Senegal in October after conducting separate interviews with Diagne, sparking an outcry among press groups and the political class, which called the detentions a serious attack on freedom of speech. Both were freed within the week.
