The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested an 80 year old ex convict, Jeremiah Isaiah Nkanta, for allegedly returning to the illicit drug trade barely three years after his last conviction.

Petro warns of possible US military action

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has said there is now a serious risk of US military action against his country, warning that Washington’s recent rhetoric and operations are pushing relations into dangerous territory. In an interview with the BBC, Petro said the United States was increasingly behaving like an “empire” toward Latin America and could end up becoming isolated internationally if it continued on its current path. His comments came after US President Donald Trump said a military operation in Colombia “sounds good”, following recent US strikes in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Petro said such statements could not be taken lightly, recalling Colombia’s past loss of territory and describing the remarks as a “real threat” to national sovereignty. The two leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday, with Trump later describing the exchange as an honour and suggesting he […]

Maduro offers talks as US signals openness to serious dialogue

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has offered an “olive branch” to U.S. President Donald Trump, proposing serious talks on issues including drug trafficking, migration and sanctions after months of post election tension and fresh U.S. pressure on Caracas.​Speaking at a military event, Maduro said he was ready for direct dialogue “with respect and equality” and suggested both countries could work together on security and economic matters if Washington eased what he called “criminal” sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector.​ U.S. officials, while sceptical of Maduro’s intentions, have indicated Washington could engage in serious talks if there is clear progress on political prisoners, human rights and credible electoral guarantees following disputed elections that extended Maduro’s rule.​They have also hinted that U.S. sanctions could be adjusted depending on whether Caracas moves toward more inclusive politics and honours past agreements reached with the opposition in […]

Trump claims US strike on Venezuela drug dock

Donald Trump has claimed that the United States carried out a strike on a dock facility allegedly used by Venezuelan drug traffickers to load narcotics onto boats. Speaking to reporters, the US president said a “major explosion” had hit a location where drugs were prepared for maritime transport, though he did not disclose the exact site or provide operational details. Venezuelan authorities have not yet issued an official response. According to reports by CNN and The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, the explosion was caused by a drone strike conducted by the CIA. If confirmed, this would represent the first publicly known US operation carried out inside Venezuelan territory. Since September, Washington has intensified military actions against what it describes as drug-smuggling networks operating by sea. US officials say more than 20 vessels in the Pacific […]

NDLEA arrests Lagos female drug kingpin

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a wanted female drug kingpin in Lagos after discovering 23.5 kilograms of cocaine hidden in her children’s room. The suspect was picked up during a raid on her residence following weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance by NDLEA operatives.​ According to the agency, the cocaine was carefully concealed in bags and containers placed among children’s belongings to avoid detection. NDLEA officials said the tactic was part of a wider effort by the suspect to use her family home as cover for large scale drug trafficking activities.​ The agency described the woman as a key figure in a trafficking network responsible for moving cocaine within Lagos and to other parts of the country. She had reportedly been on NDLEA’s watch list for some time before being tracked to the Lagos address where she […]

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 […]
