Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

 ANAMBRA POLICE JOINS IN THE ADVOCACY AGAINST DOMESTIC SERVITUDE AND EARLY CHILD MARRIAGE


The Anambra State Police Command today 16th December 2025 at the Pastoral Centre beside Roban Stores, Awka joined stakeholders like the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Anambra State Ministry of Women Affairs, Civil society organizations, community leaders, and concerned citizens in advocating against the harmful practices of domestic servitude and early child marriage.


These practices constitute grave violations of the rights of the child and are punishable under Nigerian law, including the Child Rights Act, Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, and other relevant laws applicable in Anambra State. Under the law, no child should be deprived of education, dignity, safety, or the opportunity to grow in a healthy and supportive environment. The event was organized by the Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN) in collaboration with the Dominicans for Justice and Peace. 


Domestic servitude often subjects children to exploitation, abuse, neglect, and denial of basic rights, while early child marriage exposes minors especially girls to various health risks, psychological trauma, and lifelong social and economic disadvantages. These acts are not cultural norms, but crimes that must be confronted collectively.


The Anambra State Police Command reiterates its commitment to protecting children and vulnerable persons. The Command will therefore continue to investigate reported cases, rescue victims, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice in accordance with the law. The Command is also strengthening collaboration with the Ministry of Women Affairs, social welfare agencies, traditional institutions, schools, and non-governmental organizations to enhance prevention, protection and rehabilitation efforts.


To this end, the Command calls on parents, guardians, employers, and community leaders to play their roles responsibly. Children should be in school, not in servitude or forced into marriage. Communities are encouraged to speak up and report any suspected cases of child abuse, exploitation, or forced marriage to the nearest Police station or relevant authorities. All reports will be treated with confidentiality and professionalism.


The fight against domestic servitude and early child marriage requires collective action. The Police cannot do it alone. Together, we can safeguard the future of our children and build a society founded on justice, respect and human dignity.


The Anambra State Police Command remains committed to this cause and urges all citizens to join hands in saying NO to domestic servitude and NO to early child marriage.
