 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

 NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS CLEAR TERRORISTS' ROAD BLOCKADE IN ZAMFARA, NEUTRALIZE TERRORISTS IN KATSINA, RECOVER ARMS



In continuation of efforts to curb terrorists' activities in the Northwest region,  Nigerian Army troops in two separate operations conducted in Zamfara and Katsina States on Monday 1 April 2024, cleared road blockades  mounted by terrorists to kidnap  passengers and neutralized the terrorists. 


In Zamfara State, troops on a fighting patrol to curtail terrorists' activities responded to a distress call on the blockade of Anka-Bagega road, mounted by terrorists to frustrate free movement of motorists and goods, as well as to serve as an  entrapment to abduct unsuspecting civilians. The vigilant troops rapidly mobilized to the scene and engaged the terrorists in combat, compelling the terrorists to abandon their mission and scampered in disarray. Troops  recovered  an AK-47 rifle, 2 AK 47 Magazines, 5 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition and one motorbike. Troops are still trailing the terrorists to deny them freedom of action in the area.   


In a separate operation in Katsina state, troops cleared several insurgents' camps within Yar'Malamai and Hamfudin general areas in Faskari Local Government Area, eliminating one of the terrorists in the aftermath of a shootout. The troops recovered one locally fabricated gun, 2 motorcycles, 6 mobile phones and  other sundry items.
