 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...

COURT ASKED TO EXTEND SENTENCE OF NICHOLAS PROSPER. (PHOTO).


 Court asked to extend sentence of Nicholas Prosper


The Court of Appeal has been asked to review the sentence of a teenager who killed three members of his family and planned a school shooting.


Nicholas Prosper, 19, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 49 years for murdering his mother, brother and sister in Luton last year.


The bodies of Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13, were found at their home in the Leabank Court tower block in September.


The government’s solicitor general has referred the case to appeal after multiple referrals including one from a Conservative MP who argued that Prosper should have received a whole life order instead, which would mean he would never be released from jail.


The Attorney General’s Office had received requests to reconsider Prosper’s sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.


In March, the Conservative shadow justice minister Kieran Mullan questioned why a whole life order was not imposed in a post on X and said he referred the case to the scheme.


An attorney general office’s spokesperson said: “I can confirm that the solicitor general has referred Nicholas Prosper’s sentence to the Court of Appeal.


“It will be argued that Prosper ought to have been given a whole life order. It is now for the court to decide whether to increase the sentence.”


Whole life orders are considered the harshest penalty available to courts since capital punishment was abolished.


The sentence can be considered in exceptional cases such as those where two or more people have been killed with a significant degree of pre-meditation, or where one child is killed with similar pre-planning.


Previously, an adult under the age of 21 could not be given a whole life order but this changed in 2022.


Offenders aged between 18 and 20 can now receive one when the seriousness of their crimes are “exceptionally high” even when compared to similar offences committed by those 21 and over.


If given a whole life order Prosper would become the youngest person to receive one.


Prosper used a shotgun and a knife in the attack that took place in his home on 13 September.
