ICPC files criminal case against Mike Ozekhome over UK property

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has filed a three-count criminal charge against senior lawyer Mike Ozekhome over an alleged fraudulent attempt to acquire a property in the United Kingdom.​ The case is linked to a London property located at 79 Randall Avenue, Neasden, London NW2, which was the subject of a 2025 judgment by the UK First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). The tribunal described the move to transfer the property to Ozekhome as being built on a network of fraud, impersonation and forged documents.​ According to court documents, prosecutors allege that Ozekhome received the London house in or around August 2021 from a man identified as Shani Tali, knowing that the transfer amounted to a felony. The alleged offence is said to contravene Section 13 and is punishable under Section 24 of the Corrupt Practices and Other […]

US talks with hardline Venezuelan minister Cabello began months before raid

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration were in quiet contact with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello months before the US raid that seized President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, and those communications have continued since. Multiple sources say the talks were aimed at preventing further instability and focused on urging the 62‑year‑old power broker not to deploy security forces or ruling‑party militias against opposition supporters.​ Cabello controls key elements of Venezuela’s security apparatus, including intelligence services, police and parts of the armed forces, which have largely remained intact after Maduro’s removal. He is named in the same US drug‑trafficking indictment used to justify Maduro’s arrest, yet he was not detained in the operation, and discussions with Washington have also touched on sanctions and the criminal charges he faces.​ US officials see Cabello’s stance as critical to the survival of […]

Seun Kuti, Peter Okoye reconcile after 2023 election feud
