The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday in Onitsha. According to him, the arrest was in connection with an ongoing investigation of a reported case of the sudden death of a seven-year-old child at a construction site along Trans-Nkisi Layout in Onitsha. He said police operatives attached to the 3-3 Divisional Headquarters on Friday by 9:30 am arrested the 40-year-old suspect who is a native of Abi in Cross River State. “Preliminary investigation reveals that the father of the victim forcibly took the minor from the mother and has been living with him in an uncompleted building at Trans-Nkisi Layout Onitsha. “Furthermore, on December 11, 2024, the lifeless body of the child was found in a soakaway pit dug in the abandoned uncompleted building after the suspect left the child for an unknown destination. “The body of the child was later recovered and taken to the hospital before he was confirmed dead by a doctor,” he said. SP Ikenga stressed that Commissioner of Police Nnaghe Itam directed the immediate transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Awka, for a more detailed investigation.

The Alberta government is proposing a reworked Green Line light rail transit route in Calgary that it says would serve more communities and save more than $1 billion. The province contracted consulting firm AECOM in July to find alternatives to the city’s latest proposal, which would have involved a tunnel through downtown and run a drastically shorter distance than earlier planned. Calgary city council voted to wind down the $6.2-billion project in September after the province said it would pull its $1.5-billion in funding without a major project overhaul. The federal government has also committed $1.5 billion. The Alberta government says based on the AECOM report, it is proposing a new Green Line alignment that would connect 7th Avenue downtown to a station at Shepard on the Calgary’s southeastern edge. The province says it would save $1 billion by using elevated tracks downtown instead of a tunnel, and would connect to two other lines serving the northeast and northwest as well as a new NHL arena set to open in 2027. “This alignment adds five more stops, will be 76 per cent longer and will serve 60 per cent more Calgarians — all within the same budget,” Alberta Transport Minister Devin Dreeshen said in a news release Friday. “The ball is now in Calgary city council’s court to approve this alignment and to finally start construction on the Green Line in the new year.” In a statement to Global News, the city said it “has not received the AECOM report and it is disappointing that after working collaboratively since September on a reimagined Green Line that the Province shared the details publicly prior to Council’s review. Until Council has an opportunity to review the report including the alignment and costing, we cannot comment.” The statement went on to say “council has been clear that the City’s commitment of $1.53B remains and look forward to understanding the Province’s plan on their new alignment.” With files from The Canadian PressBombardier and Honeywell settle lawsuit over engine prices

'I'm a Premier League winner and legend - now I'm facing my son in FA Cup third round' - The MirrorMADRID (AP) — Kylian Mbappé admitted he is going through a difficult moment as he missed another penalty kick and Real Madrid lost ground to Barcelona in the Spanish league after a 2-1 loss at Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. Mbappé had his penalty saved by Athletic goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala in the 68th minute, and later Federico Valverde gifted a late goal by losing possession on defense to allow an easy winner by Gorka Guruzeta in the 80th. “Bad result,” Mbappé posted on Instagram. “A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. A difficult moment but it's the best time to change this situation and show who I am.” Mbappé sent the penalty shot to his right and Agirrezabala dived that way to make the stop. “We knew that he is a good penalty taker,” Agirrezabala said. “He missed the last one and I believed that he was going to choose the same side and luckily that’s what happened.” Mbappé, who had a goal disallowed for offside in the 13th, had also missed a penalty in Madrid’s 2-0 loss at Liverpool in the Champions League last week. He didn’t take the one for the club in a Spanish league match on Sunday, but he scored in the 2-0 win over Getafe to ease some of the pressure on him and the club. But it was another lackluster outing for the France star, who continues to struggle in his first season since finally joining the Spanish powerhouse. “I won’t evaluate the performance of a player because of a missed penalty. Obviously he is sad and disappointed, but you have to move on,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said about Mbappé. “He is not at his best level, but you have to give him time to adapt. You have to give him time to be able to do better.” Ancelotti also downplayed the bad play by Valverde, saying that mistakes can happen to anyone. Valverde had control of the ball but gave it away while trying to get past a couple of Athletic players instead of passing it to a teammate, leaving Guruzeta with an easy run into the area for his goal. Álex Berenguer had put the hosts ahead in the 53td and Jude Bellingham equalized for Madrid in the 78th. The defeat left Madrid four points behind Barcelona, which on Tuesday ended a three-match winless streak in the league with a 5-1 rout at Mallorca. Madrid, which has a game in hand, had won three consecutive league games since a 4-0 loss at home in the “clasico” against Barcelona. Madrid has lost five of its last 11 matches in all competitions. Athletic moved to fourth place with the victory, its fourth consecutive across all competitions. Both matches on Tuesday and Wednesday were moved forward in the schedule because the clubs will be playing in the Spanish Super Cup in January. In the Copa del Rey, first-division clubs Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Real Betis all advanced over lower-division teams in the second round, but Villarreal lost 1-0 to fourth-division club Pontevedra and Girona fell on penalties to fourth-tier team Logrones.

PHOENIX — Spencer Eldridge says the loss of his son shaped his life for more than a decade. “My son passed away in 2009 and that long-term trauma and depression shut down pathways to my brain,” Eldridge told ABC15. “Life’s difficult. I just thought everyone struggled like this and it was me that was the problem that I just couldn't figure out how to manage it.” Eldridge eventually visited Camelback Recovery for TMS treatment — transcranial magnetic stimulation — that is used to activate the parts of the brain used in mood regulation. “Usually we use medications to boost those levels up, but this machine here essentially does the same thing without using any medications,” said Dr. Rob Westerman, the Chief Medical Officer for Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness. “It’s just a magnetic field. There (is) no electrical stimulation,” Eldridge said. “It does just feel like tapping on your head.” The treatments are normally administered daily over a number of weeks and Westerman says they are covered by most insurance. In some cases, sessions can be administered in as little as three minutes. “I can think things through. I can process emotions. I can handle difficult things,” Eldridge told ABC15. “I’m taking care of things I should’ve taken care of a long time ago.” The treatment also helped Tim Westbrook, the founder and CEO of Camelback Recovery in 2022. “It was just a new technology I had learned about and it was helping people,” Westbrook said on his decision to bring in the TMS machine in late 2022. “We’re seeing less hospitalizations, we’re seeing less doctors appointments. It’s catching on,” Westerman said. The technology is still evolving but Eldridge calls it life-changing. “I’m more emotionally available for my kids now than I was before. I’m not stuck in my sorrows of where I would've been.” Latest from ABC15: American released from Syrian prison is flown out of the country, official says AP via Scripps News A new move to block illegal robocalls from ringing your phone Christel Bell Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke celebrates his 99th birthday Taylor O'Bier Arizona Crime Uncovered | Who killed Ben Anderson and why?

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Phil Murphy has asked the Biden administration to put more resources into an investigation of mysterious drone sightings that have been reported in New Jersey and nearby states. Murphy, a Democrat, made the request in a letter Thursday, noting that state and local law enforcement remain “hamstrung” by existing laws and policies in their efforts to successfully counteract any nefarious activity of unmanned aircraft.

New Brunswick's child and youth advocate has delivered a mostly failing grade to the provincial government's work on recommendations in 2021 to address mental health issues among First Nations youth. In a report released Monday morning, Kelly Lamrock calls the government's efforts "lacklustre," concluding that it took no action on 12 of the 20 recommendations and only "somewhat implemented" the eight others. He told reporters that the response has been "profoundly underwhelming." Lamrock called for a "nation-to-nation" approach to the issue, including co-management by the province and First Nations governments of funding for mental health services. "At some point one either accepts that we need a distinct process to deal with the crisis in First Nations communities or we do not," Lamrock said. "And that dividing line really animates the report. My submission respectfully to the legislature is we do, and we have not had one." He noted that young Indigenous people are almost eight times as likely to take their own lives as other New Brunswick youth. "Anybody that thinks you can simply attack this problem by saying 'take the strategy for the whole province and add Aboriginal people' probably has not reflected long enough on the very unique causes and very unique challenges in First Nations communities." Lamrock asked government departments for an accounting of their work on the proposals submitted by a First Nations advisory council to his predecessor Norm Bossé, as part of the advocate's broader review of suicide prevention and youth mental health services. He said the responses "do not meaningfully address the substance of the recommendations," often equating the creation of committees — or just the discussion of who might sit on committees — with concrete actions. "In several cases it appears that authorities are providing unrelated or tangential responses as a means to avoid rejecting the recommendations," he wrote. "This indicates both a failure of the authorities to address the issue and a failure to take accountability for their inaction." Lamrock's report makes five new recommendations that he says are intended to "kickstart this process after three lost years," including a "nation-to-nation" agreement with First Nations for the co-management of funding for youth mental health services. Roxanne Sappier, who co-chaired the advisory council for Bossé's report, said she was hopeful the proposals would spark movement. "The lack of action means that our youth are suffering, that we're not meeting the needs of our families in our communities, and that has huge, huge costs," she said. In a statement, Rob McKee, the Liberal minister responsible for mental health and addiction services, said "a number of initiatives are underway ...and are in various stages of implementation" — the kind of phrasing that Lamrock's report criticized.. McKee's statement said that includes creating programs that are "culturally safe" for Indigenous people, but he did not mention the idea of co-managing funding. Lamrock also called for clearer accounting of federal funds transferred to the province for First Nations mental health to ensure it's being spent properly and the creation of clear indicators for measuring progress. He was reluctant to discuss whether the previous Progressive Conservative government of Blaine Higgs was to blame or whether the new Liberal government of Premier Susan Holt would make a difference. His job, he said, was to report to the legislature — meaning 49 MLAs from three different parties — and leave it to them to hold specific politicians accountable. "My job is to say what has come out of the department, and it's nothing." Roxanne Sappier, who co-chaired the advisory council for Bossé's report, says they've been waiting 'a long, long time' for gains to be made. (Mikael Mayer/Radio-Canada) But Sappier said she believes the attitudes of those holding political power can't be ignored. "It's been very challenging without that support from the top. So we're really hopeful that now that we do have mandates from this government supporting this work, that we will make some gains that we've been waiting for for a long, long time," she said. Progressive Conservative MLA Rob Weir, who was first elected in October and who worked as a political assistant in the PC government, was reluctant to say why so little progress had happened. "I can't answer that because I was not in the room," he said. PC MLA Rob Weir, who was first elected in October, was reluctant to say why so little progress had happened. (Jacques Poitras/CBC) "I will guarantee that moving forward, I will be an advocate for paying attention to the issues that we have and solving the problems moving forward." Green Party leader David Coon said the Higgs government was clearly responsible for the inaction, "but they're gone," and he called on the legislature's social policy committee to be given a mandate to monitor the implementation of the recommendations. Among the 2021 recommendations where Lamrock found no action was taken: The launch of a separate review by the provincial government of Indigenous youth mental health services. Changes to health care structures and processes with a long-term goal of "cultural safety" for Indigenous youth and better outcomes. A forum that includes federal and provincial governments and Indigenous leaders to develop a framework for "culturally appropriate, competent and safe" mental health services. Improving the transparency of how federal government money transferred to the province is spent on Indigenous mental health services. Cultural training for judges and Crown prosecutors. Among recommendations that Lamrock said were "somewhat" implemented: Formal support and recognition of the Mi'gmaq, Peskotomuhkati and Wolastoqey languages through provincial legislation and programs. The offering of "culturally relevant" mental wellness, health and addiction services for Indigenous youth, with an emphasis on Indigenous-led services.
