 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT ON CITIZEN ASAR MICHAEL SESUGH'S DEATH. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.


 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.


However,  fresh intelligence came on Thursday,  May 21,  2026 that one of the escaped suspects,   Asar Michael Sesugh,  was hiding somewhere in the  Kansho axis      of  Makurdi.   Operatives made for the location. Upon sighting the team, Sesugh and his suspected cult members opened fire on them. 


Operatives of the Commission returned fire in self-defence.   All the suspected cult members,  including  Sesugh,  fled owing to the exchange of fire between them and EFCC's operatives.   However,  Sesugh was later sighted lying in the pool of his blood by the roadside.  He was promptly taken to the Police Cottage Hospital at the Police Headquarters in Makurdi where he was pronounced dead.


The Commission reported the matter at the Benue State Police Headquarters,  Makurdi and the Police has begun investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding his death and making efforts to arrest other fleeing members of the suspected cult.  Preliminary reports of the findings of the Police have also been released to the public. 


The Commission wishes to state clearly that the dead suspect did not die in custody and was not on bail at any time.   While the EFCC expresses its condolences to the family of the deceased suspect, it will not condone any further attack of its Operatives or breach of its internal security by suspects. The Commission assures that it will continue to act in the best interests of the nation.
