 ANAMBRA POLICE ACTION ON THE CULT CLASH THAT RESULTED IN THE FATAL INJURY OF FOUR PERSONS AT AFOR NAWFIA MARKET The Anambra State Police Command wishes to provide a comprehensive update on the cult-related attack that occurred on the evening of 7th December 2025 at Afor Nawfia Market, along the Onitsha–Awka Old Road. It will be recalled that operatives of the Command attached to the Special Anti-Cult Squad, Enugwu-Ukwu, had, four days earlier, acting on credible intelligence about a planned rival cult confrontation, arrested two dangerous suspects and recovered a firearm from them. The arrested suspects have been assisting the Police with valuable information aimed at preventing further cult-related violence within Awka and its environs. Despite these proactive efforts by the Command operatives, some members of the same gang, on the evening of 7th December 2025, operating in a black Lexus Jeep with registration number yet unknown, stormed Afor Nawfia Market and opened fire indiscr...

6.8-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE HISTS JAPAN, TSUNAMI WARNING ISSUED. (PHOTO).


 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan, Tsunami Warning Issued


A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck southwestern Japan late Monday, triggering small tsunamis in the region, though no damage or injuries were reported.


The quake occurred at a depth of 36 kilometers, approximately 18 kilometers off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture in the Kyushu region, at 9:19 PM local time (12:19 GMT), according to the US Geological Survey.


The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a tsunami warning, forecasting waves up to one meter high and urging residents to stay away from coastal areas. “Tsunamis can strike repeatedly. Please avoid the sea and coastal areas,” the agency advised on X (formerly Twitter).


Two minor tsunamis, about 20 centimeters high, were observed at ports in the region. However, local media and live broadcasts from public broadcaster NHK showed no visible damage, with normal traffic flow, operating vessels, and calm seas.


Japan, situated along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” is among the world’s most seismically active nations, experiencing approximately 1,500 earthquakes annually. Despite most being mild, the effects vary based on the quake's depth and location.


On January 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude quake in the Noto Peninsula resulted in nearly 470 fatalities, Japan’s deadliest in over a decade. Last August, the JMA raised concerns about a potential "megaquake" following a magnitude 7.1 tremor that injured 15 people.


The 2011 undersea quake off northeastern Japan remains a grim memory. The 9.0-magnitude disaster triggered a massive tsunami, leaving 18,500 people dead or missing and causing meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear plant.


Despite the challenges posed by its geological setting, Japan enforces stringent building codes to ensure structures withstand powerful quakes and regularly conducts emergency drills. Authorities are now investigating potential links between the latest tremor and past seismic activity.
