Follow @NigeriaPI A police raid nabbed 238 suspected drug dealers and dismantled 15 criminal gangs in 10 of Colombia’s 32 departments, authorities said Friday. Those captured “are not only linked to drug trafficking, but also the killing of 63 people,” police chief General Jorge Hernando Nieto told reporters. “Operation Temis II” was carried out over several hours in the departments of Antioquia, Boyaca, Caldas, Casanare, Cundinamarca, Huila, Narino, Santander, Tolima and Valle del Cauca, AFP reports. According to the authorities, who infiltrated the gangs with their agents, the suspects used minors, homeless people, cab drivers and street vendors to sell drugs. “Some of the dismantled organisations were formed by family clans who have devoted themselves to this illicit activity for generations,” authorities said. During the counternarcotics operation, authorities also found the suspects committing other crimes, such as murders, threats, extortion, robbery, illegal possession of firearms, criminal conspiracy and using minors to commit crimes. The world’s largest grower of coca, the plant from which cocaine is made, Colombia is also the largest producer of the drug, with an estimated 646 tonnes last year alone, according to the United Nations....

Follow @NigeriaPI A housewife, Olayinka Adebayo has told an Akure Customary Court in Ondo State, that she deserted her matrimonial home for three years to avoid being used for rituals by her husband, Adeniyi. Olayinka, who made this known when she testified in a divorce petition filed by her husband, told the court that Adeniyi had once asked her to lie on a white apparel and be chanting some words. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), she recalled that she had to change her place of worship, which was the Redeemed Christian Church of God to Cherubim and Seraphim, having realised that her life recorded no positive impacts. The respondent said that she also approached a herbalist in the course of overcoming her life challenges. Adeniyi had told the court to dissolve his 15-year-old marriage to Olayinka for alleged desertion for three years, night outing, promiscuity and talkative’s trait. He noted that he would have forgiven her if the respondent had listened and corrected her perceived waywardness. In his judgement, Mr Ayodele Omotola, the President of the court, said that all efforts to resolve the lingering rifts failed and dissolved the marriage. Omotola ordered that the petitioner should be paying N10,000 to the court’s registry every month for educational and feeding need of the children.

Mrs. Emefiele was on her way from Lagos to her hometown in Agbor, Delta State when her convoy was attacked by heavily armed men, who overpowered her security detail. Her abductors later established contact with her husband and demanded a ransom. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris, had deployed helicopters along the Benin-Agbor Road in a bid to track the abductors. The kidnappers had whisked Margaret, three other women and a male driver, to an unknown location.

Follow @NigeriaPI It was supposed to be a clean grab, a few days underground and perhaps a short while negotiating ransom with the family of their victim, a young man identified by the police as Ikenna Osuji. But Ikenna, a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State, would never get out of it alive. On May 25, 2016, Ikenna, who was working as a taxi driver along to finance his studies, met his death in the hands of kidnappers when he drove into a land where 30-year-old Chinedu Azuazu was a security guard. Saturday PUNCH learnt that Ikenna was fairly known to Azuazu because he used to drive prospective land buyers to the large expanse of land guarded by Azuazu in his cab. But May 25 was the last day the young man would ever be seen alive. He drove into the land again that day and was never seen again. When Azuazu was nabbed on September 12, 2016 by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Response Team, details of the gruesome end Ikenna met in the hands of his captors emerged. Azuazu, a father of one living at Omouku area Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said he was employed to guard the land in question, which belonged to the Alakahia community close to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. He said, “The man who employed us never paid us. He would rather take us to a bar and buy us drinks and then give us small money, like N3,000. It was too small for me. When my wife became pregnant and I needed money to prepare for...
