Soldiers on Sunday killed a powerful Mexican drug cartel leader who was one of the most wanted men here and in the United States, several media outlets reported.

There was no immediate confirmation from the government of the death of Nemesio Oseguera, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He had a $15 million bounty on his head.

Oseguera is one of the biggest drug suspects to be taken down since the capture of the founders of the Sinaloa cartel, Joaquin Guzman ‘El Chapo’ and Ismael Zambada. Both are serving time in the United States.

Oseguera, whose nickname was “El Mencho,” was reported killed by the Mexican newspapers El Universal and Reforma, and by the Televisa network.

Earlier, people with guns set cars and trucks on fire in the western state of Jalisco, blocking several roads in response to a security operation taking place in the region.

This technique is used to thwart police trying to move in on a high-value target.

The violence spread to the neighbouring state of Michoacan, where Oseguera’s cartel also has a presence.


His cartel was formed in 2009 and became one of Mexico’s most violent drug trafficking organisations, according to the US Justice Department.

US officials formally classified it as a terrorist organisation and accused the cartel of sending cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl from Mexico across the border into the United States.

nothing last forever that’s why Obi can’t keep getting votes or campaigning to rule the country Abi ?

creativejagaban:
I like your energy.

You have already consented to your loss in FCT. And you have already shifted your attention to 2027. That's good.

Please tell your fellow travelers to do the same. Tell them to count their loss and move on.

Tell them they have many losses to count going forward

At least we now know you also live in Sudan. Good for you.

So it is obi (religious war in chief) and El-rufai (phone tapper in chief) that will run the country better?

Is there malaria also in Sudan?

duro4chang:
I expect you to have wise up and stop talking like a kid especially when it comes to the issue of politics. Everyday I see you going down. Does it mean every election you lost is manipulated? Don't you know you win some you lose some? Was the election also manipulated for PDP too. Don't you know you are following the wrong people? What value has El rufai, David Mark and obi added to your life. What good things can you say they have done.
Oga stop reasoning like a kid. No manipulation.
How market?

The police command in Cross River says its operatives have arrested Okoi Obono-Obla, a former presidential adviser, over allegations of forgery and obtaining entry into the legal profession by false pretence.

In a statement on Thursday, Eitokpah Sunday, Cross River police spokesperson, said Obono-Obla was “lawfully arrested” on Thursday around Abuja Park, Ugep town, in Cross River state.

Sunday said the arrest was sequel to a petition submitted to the state commissioner of police over allegations bordering on “forgery and obtaining admission or professional qualification/entry into the legal profession by false pretence”.

The police spokesperson dismissed claims that the ex-presidential adviser was kidnapped by unidentified security operatives.

“The arrest was effected in accordance with extant laws and in the exercise of the constitutional and statutory powers of the Nigeria Police Force to investigate allegations of criminal conduct,” the statement reads.

“Following his arrest, he was conveyed to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Calabar, where investigation is currently ongoing.

“His legal counsel has been duly notified and is fully participating in the process. His relatives are also aware of his current location.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Command categorically states that allegations of kidnapping or involvement of unidentified security outfits are false, unfounded, and entirely without factual basis.”

In 2016, then-President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Obono-Obla as the special assistant to the president (prosecution), federal ministry of justice. He also served as chairman of the special presidential investigation panel for the recovery of public property (SPIP).

In August 2019, Buhari suspended Obono-Obla as chairman of the panel following investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged falsification of records and financial impropriety.

In October 2019, ICPC declared him wanted over “repeated failure to appear before it to answer questions bordering on allegations of fraud and corruption”.

In March 2020, the former presidential aide was arrested by ICPC in Abuja.

In March 2021, ICPC rearraigned Obono-Obla over alleged N10.1 million fraud.

In October 2021, ICPC again rearraigned him over charges bordering on alleged falsification and forgery of school results.

ICPC had accused him of forging O’Level results to study law in the 1985/86 academic session in the University of Jos (UNIJOS).

sreamsense:
You have not solved any problem here aside usual ipob ranting. Is it when obi becomes the president that such attack will stop or what? Try to offer better solution and not just mocking the situation.

Don't forget that obi has never solved one single problem, so it will be worse. Ipob that sees him as their grand patron will even come out worse when he becomes president because he will not like to be on their saboteur books. God will deliver us from both northern and eastern bandits and terrorists. They will all soon be sent to meet ikonso soon by God's grace
