Trump Welcomes Colombia Election Result

Former US President Donald Trump has welcomed preliminary results from Colombia’s presidential run-off election, predicting stronger ties between Washington and Bogotá after early vote counts placed conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella ahead of his rival. According to the initial tally released after Sunday’s vote, de la Espriella secured a narrow lead over left-wing contender Iván Cepeda. The margin separating the two candidates was less than one percentage point, making it one of the closest presidential races in Colombia’s recent history. Despite the preliminary outcome, Cepeda has not conceded defeat. He has called for patience while election authorities complete the verification and cross-checking process, which is expected to take several days before final results are confirmed. Trump, who publicly supported de la Espriella during the campaign, expressed confidence in the result and said he anticipated a significant improvement in relations […]

NDLEA arrests two grandfathers selling drugs to students in Abia

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested two elderly men, aged 84 and 75, for allegedly selling illicit drugs to secondary school students in Umuahia, Abia State. The two men, described as grandfathers, were identified as Pa John Ofiel, 84, and another elderly suspect, 75 years old. They were arrested following credible intelligence that they were involved in drug peddling targeting students in the area.

NDLEA arrests Brazil-based businessman, others in drug raids across Nigerian states

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a Brazil-based Nigerian businessman, Uche Franklin Onyekwere, for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in coordinated operations across multiple states. Onyekwere, 47, was apprehended at the airport's arrival hall during the inward screening of passengers on a South African Airways flight from Brazil via Johannesburg, following intelligence-led profiling and surveillance. A body scan conducted on the suspect indicated the presence of concealed substances, and a subsequent strip search uncovered a large wrap of a white powdery substance, later confirmed to be cocaine, strapped to his right thigh. Further examination revealed two additional wraps hidden inside the soles of the flat shoes he was wearing, with NDLEA officers recovering three wraps of cocaine weighing 1.6 kilogrammes in total.

NDLEA Foils Shipment of High-Potency Drugs Hidden in Water Purifiers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has foiled a shipment of high-potency opioids concealed inside industrial water purifiers, disrupting yet another sophisticated attempt to move dangerous drugs through Nigeria. According to the agency, the intercepted consignment contained large quantities of powerful opioids similar to those previously recovered from illegal warehouses, including high-strength tramadol and other controlled pharmaceutical substances. The traffickers allegedly packed the drugs in sealed compartments within the water purifiers to evade detection during routine checks. NDLEA officials said credible intelligence led operatives to the cargo before it could leave the country, with the operation coordinated alongside other security and port authorities. The seizure follows recent major busts in which the agency uncovered multi-billion naira opioid warehouses and dismantled a massive methamphetamine laboratory in Ogun State. The agency warned that criminal networks are increasingly turning to household and […]

NDLEA Arrests Chinese Woman with Drug Shipment at Lagos Airport

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a Chinese woman at Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos for attempting to travel with a drug consignment. Details released so far show the suspect was intercepted during clearance checks after officers flagged her luggage and travel profile for closer scrutiny. Preliminary findings indicate the consignment contained packaged illicit substances concealed in her shipment, consistent with recent attempts by international drug cartels to move methamphetamine, cocaine and potent cannabis strains such as Canadian Loud through Nigerian airports. In similar operations at Lagos and Kano airports this year, NDLEA has intercepted multiple cocaine and methamphetamine runs involving foreign nationals and China‑bound traffickers. The interception at Lagos airport comes amid a wider crackdown in which NDLEA has arrested a China‑based Nigerian auto dealer who ingested 95 wraps of cocaine on his way to […]

Businessman excretes 45 cocaine wraps as NDLEA seizes Captagon in Kwara

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says a 33 year old businessman has excreted 45 wraps of cocaine after he was intercepted on a commercial bus in Oyo State, just as operatives seized a fresh consignment of the terror drug Captagon and other hard drugs in Kwara and several other states.​ NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said in a statement that the latest Captagon bust came almost five years after the agency recorded Africa’s first seizure of the amphetamine pill at Apapa seaport in Lagos. Operatives on patrol along Bode Saadu road in Kwara State on April 21 stopped a trailer conveying passengers and recovered 10 packs of Captagon containing 10,000 pills and nine packets of Tapentadol 250mg from 33 year old suspect Nasiru Mu’azu.​ Babafemi described Captagon as a tiny, highly addictive pill widely abused in the Middle East […]

Mexico: US agents lacked approval for operation

The Mexico has said that two US agents who died in a car crash last weekend were not authorised to carry out operations on its territory. According to officials, the agents—reported to be linked to the CIA—had taken part in a raid targeting suspected drug laboratories in the northern state of Chihuahua. Their vehicle later veered off a mountain road and exploded. Following an investigation ordered by President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s security ministry stated that neither agent had formal accreditation to participate in operational activities. It also confirmed that federal authorities had not been informed of their presence. Immigration records showed that one of the agents entered the country as a visitor, while the other travelled on a diplomatic passport. Mexican law prohibits foreign agents from engaging in operations without prior government approval. The crash, which occurred on 19 April, […]
