 China detains US seismologist for nearly two years without trial as family seeks release before Xi visit A China-born American seismologist has been detained in China for nearly two years without trial, with his family now publicly calling for his release as diplomatic efforts continue over his case. Youlin Chen, a Boston resident and U.S. citizen, was detained by Chinese state security officials in November 2024 while visiting his parents in Beijing and has since been charged with espionage, according to an organization assisting his family. Chen’s wife, Yufang Rong, said she has not spoken with him in more than 600 days and expressed concerns about his health and well-being. She said President Donald Trump has taken an interest in the case and she hopes his administration can help bring Chen home. Chen has been classified by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained, a designation reserved for cases considered a priority for diplomatic intervention. He is currently the only Ame...

BENUE ASSEMBLY REJECTS NASS SUMMONS, URGES SPEAKER NOT TO APPEAR


6th May, 2025        


The Benue State House of Assembly has passed a resolution calling on the Speaker, Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh, to disregard the summons from the National Assembly Public Petition Committee.


The Assembly argued that the summons contravene the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended.


The House plans to take legal action against the National Assembly, while also requesting investigations by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Inspector General of Police into the individuals who signed the petition.


The Benue State House of Assembly also called on the National Assembly Caucus from Benue State to come for proper engagement with the House to ascertain why the state is portrayed in bad light at the National Assembly.


Lending his voice on the notice sent by the National Assembly summoning the Speaker and leadership of the Assembly to appear on Thursday, 8th May 2025, Majority Leader of the House, Saater Tiseer said the National Assembly issued the summons out of ignorance.


He said by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Benue State House of Assembly is not answerable to the National Assembly, saying Section (101) has given the House the powers to legislate on its business without external control.


The member representing Katsina-Ala West State Constituency, Bemdoo Ipusu, accepted the decision of the House to take the National Assembly to court and suggested that the lawmakers should join the Guidance of Democracy in the case for misleading the National Assembly.


Ipusu noted that the group in mentioning the names of the suspended members mentioned Peter Uche, which shows that the group lacks knowledge of what transpired on the floor of the House that day.


He wondered why the National Assembly would want to take over the functions of the Benue Assembly that is performing its duties effectively, noting that the three arms of government in the state are not fighting each other.


Members including Micheal Audu and Peter Uche condemned the decision of the National Assembly and urged the Speaker and the leadership not to appear.


Uche said he is still performing his duties in the House and wondered why the group included his name alongside those suspended, saying the act clearly shows that the National Assembly was not properly informed.
