Under the new rules, social media companies and popular websites face fines of up to AU$49.5 million ($33 million) if they allow underage users to maintain accounts. The government says the measures are necessary to shield children from harmful content, including bullying, sexual material, and online predators. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized that social media “is often used as a weapon for bullies, a platform for peer pressure, a driver of anxiety, and a tool for online predators.” The law, effective Wednesday, immediately blocks hundreds of thousands of teenagers from accessing the apps they used daily.

 ANAMBRA POLICE ACHIEVES MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: ARRESTS A NOTORIOUS ARMED ROBBER LINKED TO HIGH PROFILE MURDER AND RECOVERS ARM


In a significant development, Anambra State Police, through operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu, successfully arrested a notorious and heavily injured armed robber during a major offensive operation in Ogbaru Local Government Area (LGA) on December 8, 2025.


The suspect, identified as Ugochukwu Uzor, a 26-year-old male, is a dangerous criminal with a long history of violent offenses. He was apprehended in Iyowa Odekpe, Ogbaru LGA, after a fierce confrontation with the Police Operatives. During the operation, one locally made Beretta pistol and eleven live ammunition rounds were recovered. 


Uzor, who is known for his violent criminal activities, was found to have a large tattoo on his body with the inscriptions “No Forgiveness” + “No Mercy,” a disturbing reminder of the hardened nature of his criminal mindset.


Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to being the leader of several criminal gangs operating across Anambra and neighboring states. He also revealed his involvement in the abduction and subsequent murder of Hon. Azuka Justice, a distinguished member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, on December 24, 2024. The murder of Hon. Justice shocked the state and drew widespread condemnation.


The arrest of Ugochukwu Uzor represents a significant breakthrough in the fight against violent crime and will assist in further investigations to dismantle criminal syndicates operating within the State.


The Command, however urges the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement agencies in the continued fight against crime. Information regarding criminal activities can be reported confidentially to the Police through the following contacts: Control room number 07039194332 or the Police Public Relations Officer 08039334002.
