 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.

"DIDDY" COMBS' DEFENSE TEAM CONCLUDED THEIR CASE IN A MERE 20 MINUTES ON TUESDAY, FOLLOWING NEARLY SEVEN WEEKS OF PROSECUTION ARGUMENTS THAT INCLUDED TESTIMONY FROM OVER 30 WITNESSES.(PHOTO).


 In a stunning courtroom development, Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense team concluded their case in a mere 20 minutes on Tuesday, following nearly seven weeks of prosecution arguments that included testimony from over 30 witnesses.


 The defense called zero witnesses to the stand, instead submitting only text messages between Combs and his ex-girlfriends as evidence. Combs confirmed he would not testify in his own defense, telling Judge Arun Subramanian, "It's my decision with my lawyers."


 His legal team argued that federal prosecutors failed to meet their burden of proof on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution - charges that could result in life imprisonment if convicted.


 Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro argued that the alleged victims were "capable women who could have left on their own accord," while acknowledging Combs was "regrettably violent" but maintaining that "domestic violence is not sex trafficking."

Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
