 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. Hon. Tongo passed away at Nizamiye Hospital in Abuja on June 12, 2026, following a brief illness. His death triggered a...

Bomb blast kills more than 30 in eastern Congo following army clash with pro-government militia 

  A bomb explosion in eastern Congo killed more than 30 people and injured at least 20 others Sunday evening after clashes between the Congolese army and a pro-government militia, despite a recent U.S.-brokered peace deal aimed at ending the conflict. The blast occurred in the town of Sange in South Kivu, residents and civil society leaders said, following a dispute between the FARDC, the Congolese army, and Wazalendo, a militia assisting the army in fighting insurgents.

Witnesses described chaos as soldiers from the front lines attempted to enter Sange. “Once in Sange, they were ordered not to proceed, but some disagreed. That’s when they started shooting at each other, and then a bomb exploded, killing many people,” said civil society leader Faraja Mahano Robert. Many residents fled the area for safety, primarily toward neighboring Burundi, while clashes continued Monday, leaving additional army personnel dead and civilians fearing for their lives.

The violence highlights the ongoing instability in eastern Congo, where over 100 armed groups, including the Rwanda-backed M23, compete for control over mineral-rich territory near the Rwandan border. The region has seen one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, with more than 7 million people displaced. Despite the peace agreement signed in Washington last week by Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi, Rwandan President Paul Kagame, and U.S. President Donald Trump, fighting persists. Tshisekedi accused Rwanda in parliament on Monday of violating the pact and destabilizing Congolese institutions while exploiting natural resources.

The latest attack follows months of intense fighting, including M23’s seizure of key cities Goma and Bukavu earlier this year. U.N. experts say M23 forces are backed by approximately 4,000 Rwandan troops and have at times threatened to advance toward Kinshasa, roughly 1,600 kilometers to the west. Residents continue to call on the government to end the violence, noting the difficulty in distinguishing between combatants and civilians amid the ongoing hostilities.
