BREAKING: British Prime Minister, Liz Truss Resigns
The new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss, has resigned amid oppositions.
News ToGo reports that Truss lasted for about two months on the seat as the British Prime Minister.
She had defeated Rishi Sunak by 81,326 votes to 60,399 in an internal contest after Boris Johnson’s resignation in July.
The lawmaker was the Conservatives’ fourth head of the British government since 2015, promising to unleash Britain’s potential by going for growth and removing the obstacles holding the country back.
However, different oppositions came her way. She tried to fight on with a view to delivering on her campaign promises. But, things have not been moving smoothly under her leadership. It has been a rough run from one heated debate to another one as opposition elements kick against her leadership.
While announcing her decision, Truss disclosed that a new Prime Minister would be elected soon. She would continue to act until then.

BREAKING: Tension As Gunmen Kidnap Top Rivers Official, Fubara
Gunmen have kidnapped Aribibia John Fubara, a senior director with the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue Service, in Port Harcourt.
News ToGo reports that the abduction occurred at the Marine Base area of the city, where six armed men arrived by speedboat, fired several shots into the air, and forcibly took Fubara, who is also a Knight of Saint Christopher in the Anglican Communion, to an unknown location.
Emmanuel Fubara, the victim’s brother, confirmed the incident and stated that the family has reported it to the police. The Rivers State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, also confirmed the kidnapping.
As of now, details about the kidnappers’ demands or Fubara’s whereabouts remain unclear.

Iringe-Koko stated, “The command is aware of the incident, and the CP has directed tactical units to ensure the victim is released unhurt. A manhunt has been launched to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”

BREAKING: Country’s Prime Minister Runs For Her Life As Angry Protesters Invade Her Palace
Protesters jubilantly stormed the residence of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday after she fled, capping over a month of violent anti-government demonstrations.
News ToGo gathered that crowds, waving flags and some dancing atop a tank, broke into Hasina’s official residence in Dhaka. Channel 24 in Bangladesh aired footage of the crowd entering the compound and waving to the cameras in celebration.
An insider revealed that Hasina, 76, had relocated to a “safer place.”
Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman was set to address the nation on Monday afternoon, according to a military spokesman.
Before the breach, Hasina’s son urged security forces to prevent any overthrow of her 15-year rule.
“Your duty is to protect our people, our country, and uphold the constitution. Do not allow any unelected government to seize power, not even for a minute,” said her US-based son, Sajeeb Joy, in a Facebook post.
Security forces had supported Hasina’s administration throughout the unrest, which initially began over civil service job quotas and escalated into broader demands for her resignation. However, protesters defied curfews and violent crackdowns.
On Sunday, the deadliest day of the unrest, at least 94 people were killed, including 14 police officers. Clashes between protesters and government supporters involved sticks and knives, and security forces opened fire.
Since the protests began in early July, at least 300 people have been killed, according to an AFP tally based on reports from police, government officials, and doctors.
Army chief Waker assured officers on Saturday that the military “always stood by the people,” according to an official statement.
The military had previously declared an emergency in January 2007 after widespread political unrest, leading to a military-backed caretaker government for two years.
