Venezuela slams Trump’s ‘total blockade’ threat

Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s order for a “total and complete” blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers heading to the country, calling it a “warmongering” threat and a grave danger to peace in South America. The move is part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government.​ The escalation follows the recent seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast and a significant build-up of US military forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other crimes and vowed to expand the military presence until Caracas hands over oil, land and other assets he claims were “stolen” from the United States.​ Trump wrote that Venezuela is “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America” and […]

US seizes Nigerian owned supertanker over suspected crude theft

The United States Coast Guard, working with the US Navy, has intercepted and seized a Nigerian owned supertanker named Skipper over allegations of crude oil theft and other transnational crimes. The 20 year old Very Large Crude Carrier, which has long operated in West African and South American waters, was taken under US law enforcement authority after a multi agency investigation raised red flags about its movements and cargo records.​ US security officials said intelligence reports linked the Skipper to suspected crude theft, piracy and possible drug trafficking across several jurisdictions. Beyond concerns over stolen oil, investigators are probing whether the vessel was moving a large consignment of hard drugs and funnelling proceeds through illicit financial networks.​ The tanker is said to be owned and managed in practice by Lagos based Thomarose Global Ventures Ltd, although its registered owner is […]

India deports 32 Nigerians over alleged drug network links

Indian authorities have deported 32 Nigerians after a nationwide crackdown on an alleged transnational drug network operating across several major cities. The deportations came less than two weeks after around 50 Nigerian suspects were arrested in coordinated raids led by India’s Elite Anti Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement, known as EAGLE, working with Delhi Police.​ Investigators say the network was allegedly controlled by a Nigeria based kingpin identified only as “Nick,” who is wanted in multiple drug trafficking cases in India. Officials claim all the Nigerians arrested in Delhi were working for the fugitive mastermind, who is believed to have about 100 associates in the city alone.​ A forensic review of seized phones and laptops reportedly showed a client base of more than 3,000 people across India, pieced together from payment records, encrypted chats and delivery contacts. The syndicate is […]

Venezuela’s Maduro Threatens State of Emergency Over US ‘Aggression’

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro warned on Monday that he is prepared to declare a state of emergency in response to what he called escalating US military aggression. His comments follow a string of deadly American strikes on suspected Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean. “Today the consultation process began…to declare a state of emergency in accordance with the constitution and protect our people, our peace, and our stability if Venezuela were attacked by the American empire, attacked militarily,” Maduro said in a televised address. Earlier, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez told foreign diplomats that Maduro had already signed a decree granting him special powers in defense and security should the US move against Venezuela. But a government source later clarified that the president had not yet formally signed the document, though it was ready for enactment at any time. The tensions […]
