Impeachment articles filed against Hegseth amid US-Iran war
Democrats in the United States House of Representatives filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, citing the war in Iran and his handling of the Pentagon. The resolution, led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, is supported by Reps. Nikema Williams (Georgia), Dina Titus (Nevada), Dave Min (California), Lauren Underwood (Illinois), Steve Cohen (Tennessee), and Jasmine Crockett (Texas), among others. The six impeachment articles include Obstruction of congressional oversight; Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces; and Conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces. Others are Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians; Reckless handling of sensitive military information; and Unauthorized war against Iran and endangerment of U.S. service members. The resolution accuses Hegseth of deliberately disregarding the Constitution, abusing the powers of his office, and “acting in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law.” It said the Secretary prevented the use of military force “in a manner inconsistent with the law,” causing civilian casualties, including the death of 168 people after the February 28 bombing of a girls’ school in Minab. The articles accuse Hegseth of withholding information on the Venezuela and Iran operations, as well as “gross negligence,” regarding the sharing of U.S. military operations in Yemen in a private Signal group. The lawmakers condemned Hegseth’s “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies” remark about Iran, noting that such utterances raise concerns about violations of the Geneva Conventions and other binding obligations. The U.S. House is responsible for approving impeachment articles, while the Senate is tasked with presiding over a trial to determine whether the accused is guilty and should be ousted from office. Although the move against Hegseth could be opposed by the Republicans, who hold a narrow majority, the Democrats could resume the push if the party takes control of the chamber after the midterm elections. The Pentagon, in a statement, said the Democrats were “trying to make headlines” as the Department of War “decisively and overwhelmingly” achieves President Donald Trump’s objectives in Iran. Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson called the resolution “another charade” aimed at distracting Americans from the Department’s successes, adding that “Secretary Hegseth will continue to protect the homeland.” Impeachment articles filed against Hegseth amid US-Iran war

Senate blocks new bid to limit Trump’s war powers on Iran
The U.S. Senate has rejected another attempt to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to use military force against Iran, as Democrats say they will continue pushing to rein him in. Lawmakers voted 47 to 52 against a motion that would have allowed the proposal to move forward. Two senators broke ranks, Republican Rand Paul and Democrat John Fetterman, by voting against their respective parties. This is the fourth time Senate Democrats have forced a vote on the issue since the war began on February 28. The proposal, led by Senator Tammy Duckworth, aimed to require the president to withdraw U.S. forces from any conflict involving Iran unless Congress formally approves it. Speaking earlier, Duckworth warned about the ongoing situation, saying, “we cannot let this chaos continue unchecked.” She added that lawmakers must take responsibility, saying, “As our troops continue to sacrifice whatever is asked of them, we senators need to do the absolute minimum required of us.” Duckworth also called on the Senate to act, saying it must vote to “end Trump’s illegal war of choice.” She urged Republicans to make a decision, saying, “My Republican colleagues have a choice also. It’s simple: they can vote with me to end this conflict and prove that they’re actually putting America first, or they can vote to put Trump’s ego first. With this war growing more and more out of control each day, it is clear that they cannot continue to do both.” The vote came as tensions continue to rise, with President Trump recently stepping up his rhetoric towards Iran, including warning that a whole civilisation will die if the situation escalates further.

Kwankwaso’s name on US religious persecution bill misguided – Kano Deputy Governor
The Kano State deputy governor, Aminu Gwarzo, has urged the U.S. Congress to remove former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from a proposed bill that seeks to impose sanctions over alleged religious persecution, describing the claims against the former presidential candidate as unfounded and misleading. The proposed Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, sponsored by U.S. Representatives Riley Moore and Chris Smith, seeks sanctions against Fulani militias and includes Kwankwaso among individuals cited over alleged religious persecution. In a statement, the deputy governor said the allegations against Kwankwaso were “unfounded, misleading, and inconsistent with the verifiable public record of his life and service.” Kwankwaso has held several senior political positions over more than three decades, serving as deputy speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, two-term governor of Kano State, Minister of Defence, senator, and, most recently, a presidential candidate. “At no time has he been indicted, prosecuted, or credibly accused of religious persecution, extremism, or human rights violations,” the deputy governor said. He challenged those behind the allegations to identify what he described as the “real perpetrators” rather than defame an astute politician and democrat who has consistently opposed violence, extremism, and terrorism. The statement said Kwankwaso maintained constructive engagement with Christian leaders and minority communities during his time in office and consistently promoted peaceful coexistence. It also cited his 2023 presidential ticket with Bishop Isaac Idahosa, a Catholic priest, as evidence of his commitment to religious inclusion and national balance. The deputy governor called on U.S. lawmakers to “reject this recommendation outright” and remove Kwankwaso’s name from the proposed legislation. He suspected that the inclusion of Kwankwaso in the bill may have been influenced by individuals seeking to settle personal scores or by political rivals. Kwankwaso “remains a nationalist, a democrat and a statesman whose public service has been anchored on justice, unity and inclusive governance,” the statement added.

US Lawmaker, Rep Moore biased – Bashir reacts to shocking revelation from Benue IDP camp
A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bashir Ahmad has countered United States lawmaker representing West Virginia’s Second District, Riley Moore on revelation from the Internally Displaced Persons, IDP camp in Benue State. DAILY POST reports that Moore, who was among the congressional delegation that recently came to Nigeria on a fact-finding mission over the claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria had visited Benue IDP camp. In a statement he released on Tuesday night, the US lawmaker confirmed that over 600,000 Christians were displaced in Benue alone. Moore said the victims, who were sacked from their ancestral homes following attacks by the Islamic extremists narrated some horrible stories. He said the stories of the heinous attacks and killings would remain with him until death. Reacting, Bashir, a former presidential spokesperson, accused the lawmaker of being biased. In a post on his official X handle, Bashir questioned why the Congressman failed to visit other states to see Muslims in IDP camp in other states. He said, “The fact that there are IDP camps in Benue doesn’t mean there are none in other parts of the country. “Had it been he wasn’t already biased in his outlook, he would have made himself available to visit other places and see the situation for himself”.

It’s time for concrete action – US delegation reveals details of meeting with Nigerian govt
The United States, US Congressional delegation, who paid a strategic visit to Nigeria, aiming to assess security challenges in the nation, has revealed details of its meeting with officials of the Nigerian government. DAILY POST reports that the congressional delegation arrived in Nigeria on Sunday and were hosted by the Nigerian National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu. The meeting followed the effort of both countries in intensifying diplomatic engagement on security cooperation due to the rising concerns in Washington over alleged Christian genocide. In a statement on Monday, the Congressman representing West Virginia’s Second District, Riley Moore, who was part of the delegation, said the meeting with the Nigerian government was productive and positive. According to the statement, there were concrete steps and actions discussed at length during the meeting, stating that if the outcome is fully executed,” it will enhance security across the country for all Nigerians”. Moore admitted that there is an openness and willingness on the part of the Nigerian government to work with its US counterpart to end the security crisis. He, however, said the “openness has to translate to concrete action”. The US lawmaker thanked president Bola Tinubu’s government “for rescuing the 100 innocent and precious Catholic school children”. According to him, the release of the abductees “is a positive demonstration of the government’s increasing response to the security situation and shows commitment to the emergency declaration laid out by President Tinubu. “The US’ sense of urgency on our concerns was positively received. I feel that a cooperative security framework is within sight. The now established joint task force between Nigeria and the US is a great example. “There is much work still to be done, but things are moving in the right direction. I look forward to the next steps with the Nigerian government and the continued open dialogue. “Peace be with you all. God bless the great people of Nigeria”.

Fani-Kayode urges US lawmaker to take balanced view of Nigeria’s security challenges
A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has urged a visiting member of the United States House of Representatives, Riley Moore, to adopt a more balanced and fact-based approach in assessing Nigeria’s security challenges. DAILY POST reports that Moore, a vocal American lawmaker calling for an end to alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria, said on Sunday that he had concluded a very productive visit to the country. Welcoming the US lawmaker and his delegation to Nigeria in a post on his X handle on Sunday, Fani-Kayode expressed hope that their visit would offer an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity. “Whilst you are here, I hope you will learn a thing or two about being factual and objective in your analysis of what is going on in our beautiful country,” he wrote. The ex-Aviation Minister warned against framing Nigeria’s security crisis solely as a campaign against Christians, stressing that Muslims have also been victims of deadly attacks. “When you consider and acknowledge the fact that the genocide and mass murder that is going on here is not limited to Christians alone but also affects Muslims, I will view you with less suspicion and treat you with more respect,” he said. He referenced a recent attack in Sokoto, where terrorists reportedly invaded a mosque during early morning prayers, killing the Imam and one other worshipper and abducting several others. Recall that the US Congressman, while sharing the update in a post on his X account, said: “I came to Nigeria in the name of the Lord and on behalf of the American people. “Just ending a very productive visit to Nigeria and rounds of meetings. More details to come. Happy Sunday. God is Great!” Fani-Kayode urges US lawmaker to take balanced view of Nigeria’s security challenges
‘We will hold Nigerian govt responsible if anything happens to Rev Dachomo’ – US Congressman Moore
United States Congressman, Riley Moore, has threatened that the US will hold the Nigerian government responsible if anything should happen to Plateau State-based Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo over his anti-Christian genocide crusade. Moore, who represents West Virginia in the US parliament, has the warning in a post he shared on his X account, following a recent revelation by the outspoken preacher that he has been getting threats and warnings from loyalists of President Bola Tinubu to desist from posting videos of Christian killings and mass burials in the state. In a video message he posted on his Facebook page on November 21, 2025, Dachomo had said: “They are threatening and warning me to stop exposing President Bola Tinubu’s government over the ongoing killings of Christians by Fulani terrorists.” He also claimed that he had been receiving warnings and threatening phone calls from a high-ranking official in the Tinubu administration, following a visit from a presidential advisor expressing concern over his criticism of the government. “I said, so I’m exposing my government while they watch me on social media. But what about me? The same government is exposing us to Fulani killings by refusing to stop the attacks. Their silence endangers Christians all over Nigeria,” Dachomo said. Less than 24 hours after Rev. Dachomo made the revelation, his Facebook page was deleted while a new Instagram page was also shut down 24 hours after it was created. Facebook Meta was the next to deny Rev. Dachomo the use of its account to post his videos and messages, citing the claim that his content posed a threat to Nigeria’s national security. These developments and consequent threats to the clergy have drawn condemnation from both local and international activists, many of whom have offered legal support. In his submission, Moore stated that Dachomo, the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau, is in danger, but categorically said that the US would not take it lightly if Rev. Dachomo were to come to any harm. “I do want to highlight a case that just happened recently in the Plateau State,” Rep. Moore said. “We had a pastor there who had warned the Nigerian government and said, ‘We are under imminent threat. We’re going to face an attack. If you don’t send some forces here in the next 24 hours, we need help. Please come here and help us’. “The Nigerian government not only ignored it, but they literally put out a press release about it, calling it fake news, hyperbole, and being overblown. Well, 13 people lost their lives the next day “How can you trust a government that doesn’t even show up when you ask them to? How are you supposed to trust your life with something like that? You can’t. “The US will hold the Nigerian government responsible if anything should happen to the Pastor,” Moore said. ‘We will hold Nigerian govt responsible if anything happens to Rev Dachomo’ – US Congressman Moore
