 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.

 VIO OFFICERS IN MAKURDI ACCUSED OF DEFYING COURT ORDER, HARASSING MOTORISTS

Residents in Makurdi are raising fresh concerns after Vehicle Inspection Officers were reportedly seen stopping cars and issuing fines despite a recent Court of Appeal ruling barring such roadside operations.


The incident happened Friday near Padopas School in High Level, where witnesses say VIO personnel set up an unmarked checkpoint, impounded vehicles, and demanded payments without any official patrol vehicle present. The move has sparked anger among motorists, who described the operation as unlawful and dismissive of the court’s directive.


“This is a criminal offence after yesterday’s Court of Appeal judgement,” a witness said, urging authorities to step in and stop what many now call an “illegal levy” on drivers in Benue State.


Concerned citizens are calling on the Benue State Commissioner for Transport and other enforcement bodies to investigate the officers’ conduct. They are also appealing to Hon. Gbenda Terver to intervene swiftly and end the alleged illegal operations.
