Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is facing mounting public scrutiny following the reported killing of 16-year-old Sesugh Atser during an incident in the Kanshio area of Makurdi, Benue State.
The incident, which reportedly occurred in May 2026, has sparked widespread outrage, with calls from members of the public and civil society groups for a thorough, transparent and independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death.
Authorities have yet to provide a comprehensive account of the incident, as demands for accountability continue to grow across the country.
