 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.

 Male model arrested in NYC after husband stabbed to death

A male model was arrested over the weekend in Harlem, New York City, after his estranged husband was found stabbed to death in their apartment bathroom.

Donald Zieben-Hood, 40, was ordered held without bail following his arraignment Sunday night as prosecutors weigh homicide charges. He faces first-degree burglary, weapons possession, and aggravated criminal contempt for violating two protection orders.

Jacob Zieben-Hood, 34, died early Friday after bleeding out from a stab wound that severed an artery, according to police. Prosecutors described the scene at the arraignment, saying Jacob was found slumped over a toilet, covered in blood, with head injuries and multiple stab wounds, including one on the back of his calf that penetrated muscle.

Jacob had accused Donald of repeated abuse and had several protection orders against him. Prosecutors cited nine domestic incident reports between the couple dating back to 2022.

Donald, who sustained several cuts to his arms, told police he had fallen asleep and woke up to find Jacob injured and in need of medical help, according to court documents.

Neighbors reported hearing the couple fighting Thursday night. Jacob’s father said his son called him that same evening, warning that Donald was “coming after him” with a kitchen knife.

Donald was previously arrested in February for allegedly strangling Jacob during a dispute. In March, police responded to a 911 call about another fight and found Jacob with a bloody head wound; both men claimed he had fallen. A second protection order was filed in June after Donald allegedly threatened Jacob with a kitchen knife.
