 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.

 Two young boys discovered dead along Brazos River in Texas 

Two young boys were found dead Tuesday evening along the Brazos River in North Texas, authorities said.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office reported that a call came in around 6:10 p.m. from Hamm Creek Park near Rio Vista, where the children had been playing near the water. Rescue crews located the boys at approximately 8:30 p.m. and pronounced them dead on the scene. The victims, ages 4 and 7, were later identified by the Johnson County Medical Examiner as Banx McAmis, 4, and Bowyn Miller, 7.

Joshua ISD confirmed that one of the boys, Bowyn Miller, was a student at Plum Creek Elementary, and the district said counseling teams will provide support for students and staff. “Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to the family and community,” the district said.

Multiple agencies, including the departments from Cleburne and Grandview, as well as Texas Game Wardens, assisted in recovering the boys’ bodies. The sheriff’s office expressed condolences to the families and gratitude to all responding agencies, noting the operation was difficult and emotionally taxing. Officials said foul play is not suspected, though the cause of death has not been released. A GoFundMe has been set up to help cover funeral and memorial costs.

A statement from the family described the boys’ personalities and interests: Bowyn loved karate, playing outdoors with his siblings, and video games, while Banx was energetic and adored his Ninja Turtles and playing outside in any weather.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office emphasized the importance of water safety, urging residents and visitors to supervise children closely, use life jackets, and remain vigilant near open bodies of water.
