 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.

IRAN INTENSIFIES THREATS AGAINST PROTESTERS AS DEMONSTRATIONS APPROACH TWO WEEKS. (PHOTO).



Iran intensifies threats against protesters as demonstrations approach two weeks


 Iran escalated its warnings against protesters on Saturday, with Attorney General Mohammad Movahedi Azad declaring that anyone taking part in demonstrations would be treated as an “enemy of God,” a charge that carries the death penalty. The comments were broadcast by Iranian state television, amid signs that a broader crackdown may be underway following nearly two weeks of unrest.

Despite government efforts to suppress information, protests across Iran continue to grow, with reports indicating at least 65 people have been killed and more than 2,300 detained. Internet and phone access have been largely cut off, making independent verification difficult. State media have focused on showing pro-government demonstrations and highlighting clashes with security forces, while downplaying the scale of public protests.

In Tehran and other cities, online videos show thousands still on the streets, chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Semi-official outlets, including the Fars news agency and the Young Journalists’ Club, reported casualties among security forces, as well as attacks on government buildings and vehicles. Funeral footage aired on state TV in Qom highlighted public mourning amid the unrest.

Iran’s leadership has signaled continued suppression, while exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has called for demonstrators to continue protests over the weekend, urging the use of national symbols from the pre-revolution era. The unrest began on Dec. 28 over the collapse of the Iranian rial, which has lost significant value amid international sanctions, and has since evolved into widespread opposition to the theocratic government.

Efforts by the United States and other international actors to support Iranian protesters remain limited due to the country’s communication blackout. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed support for the demonstrators, emphasizing international attention on Iran’s response to the growing demonstrations.
