 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 Police Officer In Kaduna Threatens Reprisal Attack On Southerners In North Over Edo Killings


A police officer from Kaduna State, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki, has threatening reprisal attacks on southerners living in northern Nigeria.


Dan-Taki's comment came in response to the killing of 16 northerners in Uromi, Edo State.


Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Dan-Taki, through a Facebook post, swore in the name of God, declaring that northerners in the north must take action against southerners. 


He further warned that southerners had forgotten that their families were living in the north, vowing that "within one week, the southerners shall see the result."


The post quickly attracted widespread condemnation from social media users, many of whom called out Dan-Taki for inflaming ethnic tensions, especially given his public position as a police officer. 


Many expressed concern that his actions could further exacerbate divisions, with some highlighting his police uniform in the controversial post.


According to Dan-Taki, "I swear to Almighty God, we must do something for you guys, have you forgotten all your brothers that are leaving here in the North make my word, after one week you shall see the result."


In response to the criticism, he locked his page, limiting users' ability to view his posts and comments.


Meanwhilw, on Wednesday, Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), responded on X to the situation. The police spokesman stated, "Noted for necessary action. Thanks."


A man from northern Nigeria issued a 48-hour ultimatum to President Bola Tinubu and Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, demanding swift action to identify and apprehend those responsible for the killing of 16 Northerners in Uromi, Edo State.
