RoboCop statue finally unveiled in Detroit after nearly 15 years A 11-foot-tall bronze statue of the iconic science fiction hero RoboCop has finally been installed in Detroit, nearly 15 years after the idea first emerged. The 2.5-ton sculpture, depicting RoboCop as played by Peter Weller in the 1987 film, now stands outside the Free Age Production Studio in Detroit’s Eastern Market. Jim Toscano, the studio’s owner, expressed excitement over the installation, calling it “super impressive” and noting that it has already drawn visitors to the area. The project began in 2011 after a public exchange with then-Mayor Dave Bing sparked a fan-led campaign to bring the statue to life. Community arts advocate Brandon Walley and entrepreneur Jerry Paffendorf launched a Kickstarter that raised over $67,000 to fund the effort. Detroit sculptor Giorgio Gikas completed the statue in 2017, but legal hurdles, including obtaining rights from MGM, delayed its placement. With the statue now in place, organ...

 HAPPIE BOYS APOLOGIZE TO APOSTLE CHIBUZOR, SEEK FORGIVENESS 15th September, 2025    The internet duo popularly known as Happie Boys have tendered an apology to the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere. The pair, who were previously sponsored by Apostle Chinyere to study in Cyprus, admitted to misusing the opportunity, which eventually led to their deportation back to Nigeria. They revealed that they had been misled by individuals who promised to take them to the United States, a situation that caused them to fall out with the cleric — a decision they now regret. Expressing gratitude, the Happie Boys acknowledged Apostle Chinyere as the first person who extended help to them when their story gained public attention, and they asked for his forgiveness.

 In a major anti-corruption crackdown, the Chief Minister’s Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Cell on Sunday carried out a raid at the residence of Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer Nupur Bora in Guwahati’s Gotanagar locality. The officer is under investigation for allegedly possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The search operation, which began early in the morning, has already led to the recovery of ₹1.5 crore in unaccounted cash from Bora’s flat. Officials were seen using currency counting machines with the help of SBI bank staff to tally the massive stacks of notes.

 Trump says foreign experts invited after South Korea protests raid President Trump on Sunday said the U.S. is open to having foreign experts train Americans in high-tech manufacturing, following the departure of hundreds of South Korean workers who were arrested earlier this month. The tensions stemmed from a Sept. 4 ICE raid on an under-construction electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia, a joint venture between Hyundai and LG. Hundreds of workers were arrested for visa issues, sparking outrage in South Korea and prompting officials in Seoul to send a plane to repatriate them. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau visited South Korea last week to convey regrets over the incident. Trump, in a Truth Social post, emphasized the importance of foreign expertise for U.S. economic goals, writing that foreign companies should be allowed to bring skilled employees to train Americans in producing “extremely complex products” such as chips, semiconductors, computers, ships, and tr...

 Trump pledges national emergency in Washington, DC, over ICE conflict President Donald Trump announced Monday that he would declare a national emergency and federalize Washington, D.C., after Mayor Muriel Bowser stated that the city’s police would not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The announcement comes after thousands of protesters took to the streets earlier this month following Trump’s August deployment of National Guard troops to restore what he called “law, order, and public safety” in response to rising crime concerns. Trump posted on Truth Social that the city is “absolutely booming… for the first time in decades, virtually NO CRIME.” Bowser’s office did not immediately respond to the comments. Trump previo...

 US and Britain to finalize multiple major nuclear power deals during Trump’s state visit The U.S. and U.K. are set to sign a series of major nuclear energy deals during President Donald Trump’s state visit to Britain this week, aiming to launch what leaders are calling a “golden age” of nuclear power.
