@dailyplug9ja: Here’s everything that happened in Nigeria in the last 12 hours. United States Congressman Riley Moore has officially announced that America will closely monitor Nigeria's 2027 general elections, sternly warning that the U.S. government will not tolerate any violence, voter intimidation, or electoral malpractice during the polls. The Federal Government has threatened severe diplomatic action against South Africa following the brutal killings of two Nigerians, Emeka Iroegbu and Musa Joe, by police and criminals in Pretoria and Witbank on June 28, 2026. Opposition leader Peter Obi has accused President Tinubu’s administration of "grand corruption" and demanded his resignation after the IMF revealed that N8.83 trillion in 2025 public expenditure was not captured in the official national budget. The Federal Government has fiercely dismissed allegations of spending N8 trillion outside the 2026 budget, describing the claims as a malicious misrepresentation of the International Monetary Fund’s 2026 Article IV Consultation Report on Nigeria’s finances. A massive constitutional breakthrough occurred today as the Senate officially confirmed that 84 senators have voted to endorse the State Police Bill, signaling a bipartisan consensus to finally decentralize policing to tackle Nigeria's insecurity. The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency has issued a red alert warning that severe flooding across the country could persist until September and will likely drastically worsen in August if urgent preventive measures are not taken. The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education has urgently demanded an independent investigation into the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council scandal and called for the immediate suspension of Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila. Operatives of the NDLEA have arrested a 67-year-old Nigerian-British grandmother at the Lagos airport after she was caught attempting to smuggle 13kg of cocaine cleverly concealed inside raw plantain peels to the United Kingdom. Former First Lady Aisha Buhari has declared that the greatest enduring legacy of her late husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari, is his massive investment in education, a claim she made while commissioning a university complex. Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has successfully facilitated the installation of a free, high-speed campus-wide Wi-Fi facility at the Federal College of Education in Okene to boost digital learning and research opportunities for thousands of students. #trendingnews #newsupdate #nigerianews
