 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...

US commits billions to Britain as Trump and Starmer emphasize special relationship

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged Wednesday to “renew the special relationship for a new era” while announcing $203 billion in U.S. investment in the United Kingdom.

Speaking at a joint press conference at Chequers, Starmer described the U.K.-U.S. partnership as anchored in defense, trade, the economy, and technology, emphasizing its readiness to tackle global challenges. Trump, noting his personal ties to the U.K. through his mother, expressed gratitude for the warm receptions at Chequers and Windsor Castle, where King Charles III hosted a state banquet. He reaffirmed that the two nations will “always be friends,” highlighting the trade deal signed in June that reduced tariffs on aerospace and auto imports while maintaining steel tariffs at 25%.

The leaders addressed questions on immigration, the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, free speech, and energy policy. They differed on Palestinian statehood—set to be recognized by the U.K. at the United Nations next week—but avoided public criticism of each other’s positions. Trump expressed concerns that statehood could reward terrorism, while Starmer stressed that Hamas “is a terrorist organization that can have no part in the future governance of Palestine.” On free speech, Starmer emphasized Britain’s long-standing protections, while Trump defended his administration’s stance, dismissing criticism about comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s show suspension.

The $203 billion investment is expected to create 7,600 jobs, with $122 billion coming from Blackstone over the next decade. Microsoft pledged $30 billion over four years, Google plans $7 billion to expand a Hertfordshire data center, Prologis will invest $5 billion in manufacturing and life sciences, and Palantir committed $2 billion to defense projects. However, a proposed tariff cut on British steel was dropped, leaving the 25% duty in place.

The state visit comes amid low public trust in political leaders. Starmer’s approval ratings have hit record lows, while 78% of Britons reportedly view Trump unfavorably. Security incidents and protests also marked the visit, including projections of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein images onto Windsor Castle and demonstrations in central London.

Despite the political tension and public scrutiny, the visit allowed Starmer to secure significant U.S. investment while Trump received ceremonial honors, though it remains uncertain whether it will improve the prime minister’s domestic standing.
