 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said.

 Abia Police Inaugurates Violent Crime Response Unit with Civilian Oversight Board


The Abia State Police Command has launched a new Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) supported by an independent civilian oversight board as part of comprehensive reforms to create a more professional, accountable, and effective police force in the state.


The unit was formally inaugurated on Tuesday by the Commissioner of Police, CP Danladi Isa, alongside his management team.


According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Maureen Chioma Chinaka, the establishment of the VCRU aligns with the vision and directives of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, to build a police institution that is “professional, humane, accountable and effective.”


“The inauguration follows a rigorous process of screening, selection, and specialized training, culminating in a comprehensive orientation programme designed to instill discipline, operational efficiency and the highest standards of professionalism,” Chinaka stated.


The specialized unit is tasked with rapid response to, and professional investigation of, all forms of violent crimes across Abia State.


In a significant move to boost public confidence, the VCRU will operate under the supervision of a Civilian Oversight Board comprising representatives from the Abia State Traditional Rulers Council, human rights organisations, the Nigerian Bar Association, Amnesty International, and other stakeholders. The board is expected to provide independent monitoring to ensure strict compliance with human rights standards and professional conduct.


The command has also established a fully equipped operational base for the unit at Orji Uzor Kalu Bridge in Aba, with additional sub-units deployed across the state. Authorities say the facilities meet required operational and detention standards to protect the rights and dignity of suspects.


Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, CP Danladi Isa assured residents of the command’s commitment to professionalism, discipline, and coordinated efforts against crime. He warned that acts of impunity, misconduct, or abuse of power would not be tolerated.


The Commissioner called on the public to support the police with timely and credible intelligence, reaffirming the command’s dedication to proactive, intelligence-led policing and strong community partnerships for the protection of lives and property.


The Chairman of the Civilian Oversight Board, HRH Eze Linus Mba, commended the initiative and pledged the board’s full support through intelligence sharing and diligent oversight. He described the board as a bridge between the police and the public, promising to uphold transparency and accountability.
