 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.

 South Sudan deploys troops to secure key Heglig oil field in Sudan


South Sudan has sent its troops to neighbouring Sudan to guard the strategic Heglig oil field near the border, its military head said on Thursday, days after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of it.


Heglig houses the main processing facility for South Sudanese oil, which makes up the bulk of South Sudan's public revenues. Some oil has continued to flow through Heglig, though at much reduced volumes.


Sudanese government forces and workers at the Heglig oil field withdrew from the area on Sunday to avoid fighting that could have damaged facilities there, government sources told Reuters on Monday.


General Paul Nang, South Sudan chief of defence forces, said the troop deployment was agreed between South Sudan's President Salva Kiir, Sudan Army Chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF head Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.


‘Important strategic area’


"The three agreed that the area of Heglig should be protected because (it) is a very important strategic area for the two countries," Nang said in comments on state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Radio.


"Now it is the forces of South Sudan that are in Heglig."


Oil is transported through the Greater Nile pipeline system to Port Sudan on the Red Sea for export, making the Heglig site critical both for Sudan's foreign exchange earnings and for South Sudan, which is landlocked and relies almost entirely on pipelines through Sudan.


Another pipeline, Petrodar, runs from South Sudan's Upper Nile State to Port Sudan.


The war that started in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the RSF has repeatedly disrupted South Sudan's oil flows, which before the conflict averaged between 100,000 and 150,000 barrels per day for export via Sudan.
