Controversy has continued to surround the de@th of 17-year-old Sesugh Atser in Makurdi, Benue State, following an encounter involving operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), with his family demanding justice and a full explanation of what led to his de@th.
His mother, Jennifer Asar, a petty trader and single parent of five, said she has been devastated since receiving news of her son’s de@th, adding that she has not been able to see his body. She described him as a hardworking and intelligent boy who had struggled to continue his education due to financial hardship and had recently secured a chance to resume school.
She alleged that her son was previously arrested by the EFCC, released, but asked to pay ₦100,000 to retrieve his phone. According to her, she was later informed that he was sh%t de@d and insisted he was not a fra¥dster or c¥ltist.
