 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...

 Court Orders VeryDarkMan to Pay ₦30 Million Over Defamatory Remarks Against Mr Jollof’s Wife


A Federal High Court in Effurun, Delta State, has ordered social media critic VeryDarkMan to pay ₦30 million in damages to Mrs. Esinjemiyotan Uruneyonjuyei Atsepoyi, wife of comedian Mr Jollof, over defamatory remarks.


The dispute reportedly started in September 2024 during an online exchange between VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof, where the activist allegedly accused Mr Jollof’s wife of having affairs with politicians and internet fraudsters to help her husband secure a political appointment in Delta State.


Following the allegations, Mr Jollof publicly defended his wife and condemned VeryDarkMan’s statements, while Mrs. Atsepoyi later filed a ₦500 million defamation lawsuit against him.


According to court documents reportedly signed by Hon. Justice R. Harriman on May 13, 2026, the court ruled against VeryDarkMan after he allegedly failed to present evidence to support the accusations he made.


The court also ordered him to issue a public apology and retraction within 14 days in two national newspapers and across all his social media platforms.


In the ruling, Justice Harriman stated:


“I therefore have no hesitation in holding that the words complained of are defamatory in their natural and ordinary meaning and are actionable per se.


I find that the Claimant is entitled to general and aggravated damages and an injunction. See DIAMOND BANK v. OKPALA (2016) LPELR-41573(CA) and OBOK & ORS v. AGBOR & ORS (2016) LPELR-41219(CA). Given the wide dissemination of the defamatory material, a retraction and apology are appropriate to restore the Claimant’s reputation.


Judgment is hereby entered in favour of the Claimant against the defendant as follows: It is declared that the words published by the Defendant concerning the Claimant are defamatory.


“N20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Naira) as general damages; N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) as aggravated damages. The Defendant is hereby directed to publish an apology to the Claimant in two national dailies and all his social media handles containing a retraction of the defamatory words contained in the Defendant’s online publication of 15th, 16th, and in the early hours of 19th September, 2024, within 14 days of this judgment


The Defendant, by himself, his agents, and/or privies, is hereby restrained from further making any defamatory publication against the Claimant,” the court ordered.
