Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a 41-year-old Brazil-based businessman, Abugu Oliver Ikechukwu, for allegedly importing liquid cocaine into Nigeria through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.

According to the agency, Ikechukwu was arrested on Thursday, June 11, 2026, shortly after arriving in Nigeria from Brazil via Addis Ababa aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight.

A search of his luggage reportedly led to the discovery of 14 shirts and towels that had been soaked in liquid cocaine, dried, and carefully ironed to conceal the substance.

NDLEA said forensic analysis later confirmed the items contained a total of 6.10 kilograms of liquid cocaine.

In his statement to investigators, the suspect reportedly claimed he had lived in Brazil for over 14 years, where he operates an African restaurant. He added that he travelled to Nigeria to visit his wife and purchase food items in bulk for his business.

In separate operations across the country, NDLEA also announced the arrest of several other suspects over alleged involvement in drug-related activities.

Among them is a 60-year-old woman, Chidimma Sunday, who was reportedly apprehended with 1.8 kilograms of skunk by members of the Umuosu Vigilante Group in Umuna Autonomous Community, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area of Abia State before being handed over to NDLEA officials.

A video circulating on social media has drawn attention to the situation of women in Afghanistan following reports of a hit-and-run incident and allegations of violence against female protesters.

According to Afghan media outlet Aamaj News, a vehicle allegedly struck four women who were walking along a street. Reports claimed that the SUV was being driven by a Taliban member.

The footage reportedly shows the vehicle hitting the women before fleeing the scene.

Witnesses said two of the women managed to move out of the way in time, while the remaining two were struck by the vehicle. One of the victims was reported to be in critical condition.

See video below……..

Pedestrians nearby quickly rushed to assist the injured women.

The video was later shared on X by Iranian activist Masih Alinejad, who said she received the footage from an Afghan woman.

Sharing the video, Alinejad wrote:

“I received this video from a woman of Afghanistan with a [simple] message: ‘Please use your platform and tell the world that they are killing us here, we are tired of Taliban. Please don’t let the world forget Afghan women. We are fed up with Taliban. Enough is enough’.”

She added that the person responsible for the incident had reportedly been identified and that efforts to apprehend them were ongoing. However, no further details were provided regarding the alleged Taliban connection.

In a separate post, Alinejad also shared claims regarding the treatment of women protesting for their rights in Afghanistan.

According to her statement:

“Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for wanting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man’s permission.

Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls.

It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover.

Morality police flooded Herat’s streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing.

Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.”

A family of six has tragically lost their lives in a road accident in Malaysia just hours after collecting their brand-new vehicle from a dealership.

The victims had reportedly picked up their new Proton X50 SUV at around 11 a.m. on June 7 and even posed for photographs with the vehicle before setting off on a journey to visit the grave of a deceased family member.

According to reports, the SUV was owned by 21-year-old Ahmad Fahim Ahmad Shukri.

The family was travelling toward a cemetery when tragedy struck in Juru, Penang.

Eyewitness accounts and dashcam footage reportedly showed the SUV veering into the opposite lane on a straight section of road in Kampung Baru Pinang Tunggal before colliding head-on with a 10-tonne lorry carrying soil.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but six occupants of the vehicle were pronounced dead.

The victims were identified as Ahmad Fahim Ahmad Shukri, his elder brother Lance Corporal Ahmad Syafiq Ahmad Shukri, 27, Nora Mhd Husin, 55, Jamaliah Sannusi, 27, Iskandar Arfan Ibrahim, 7, and two-month-old Ahmad Mikail Ahmad Syafiq.

A three-year-old girl, Aulia Sofea Ahmad Syafiq, survived the crash and was taken to hospital for treatment. She was reported to be in serious condition.

Speaking about the heartbreaking loss, Ibrahim Ghazali, the father of seven-year-old Iskandar Arfan, said the family had been excited about receiving the new vehicle earlier that day.

“They were very happy this morning to collect the car, but everything happened so suddenly.

“We never saw it coming.”

A senior Russian military officer, Colonel Damir Davydov, has been confirmed dead following a car explosion near Moscow.

The incident reportedly occurred at around 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday while he was driving near his home city of Balashikha.

Authorities said Davydov, 57, was pulled from the burning vehicle but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Before his death, he headed the Russian military’s artillery and missile ammunition supply directorate, a key logistics position responsible for overseeing the distribution of weapons to Russian armed forces.

The explosion is being viewed in the context of a series of targeted attacks on Russian military officials and pro-war figures since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Reports also suggested that Davydov’s son had previously shared images of his father’s car online, including its registration plate, which some believe may have contributed to the vehicle being tracked.

A woman identified as Ntanganedzeni Siphugu has appeared before a court in Limpopo, South Africa, after being charged in connection with the deaths of her two children.

Siphugu appeared in court on Tuesday facing two counts of murder following the deaths of her children, aged six and nine.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the incident occurred on June 1, 2026, at Madabani Village in Limpopo.

NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said investigations indicate that the mother allegedly gave the children a poisonous substance at their family home.

According to Malabi, the children became seriously ill the following day after allegedly consuming the substance.

One of the children was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment but was pronounced dead on arrival. The second child also later died.

The deaths prompted a police investigation, which subsequently led to Siphugu’s arrest and prosecution.

The matter was brought before the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court, where the case was postponed until June 12, 2026, to allow for a formal bail application.

Siphugu remains in custody pending the outcome of the bail proceedings.

A former teacher, Gary Day-Davies, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted of r£ping and s£xually assaulting a female pupil.

The offences took place between 2006 and 2009 while Day-Davies was teaching at a school in Salford.

According to reports, the abuse began after the student was invited to the teacher’s home, where he allegedly provided her with drugs and alcohol before s£xually assaulting her.

The court heard that the abus£ continued over a period of time, with further assaults taking place at the school, including in a library and a classroom store cupboard.

In 2022, the victim reported the incidents to police, prompting an investigation into the allegations.

During the investigation, Day-Davies denied the accusations and reportedly claimed that the former pupil “must have just held a bit of a grudge” against him.

However, a court later found him guilty of three counts of rap£, three counts of s£xual assault, and one count of s£xual assault by touching a child.

On Monday, June 8, Day-Davies, who is from Swinton, Greater Manchester, was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court to 15 years in prison.

During the hearing, the victim delivered an emotional statement describing the impact the case had on her life and the relief she felt following the verdict.

She said:

“Since receiving the news of the guilty verdicts, I feel like an enormous weight was lifted off my shoulders.

“The emotional trauma bond that I have endured for the last 20 years has finally severed.

“I can eventually breathe and think for myself without constant fear of the consequences.

“I finally have justice – this is justice not for me as a child but now as an adult too.

“As much as the outcome gives me some form of closure, I have not fully processed the full extent of this situation yet.

“I know I have a long road ahead of me in terms of recovery and I am very much looking forward to see what the future looks like for me.”

At least 22 people have been confirmed dead following a devastating fire at Flourish Stays, a bed-and-breakfast facility located in Hauz Rani, Malviya Nagar, South Delhi, India.

Authorities said several others sustained injuries in the incident, which has triggered an extensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the blaze.

According to police, a Nigerian national was among those who lost their lives in the tragedy.

An officer said the victim, described as a middle-aged man, had been staying at the facility for several days before the fire broke out.

“The Nigerian national, a middle-aged man, had been staying at the hotel for the past few days. After the incident, he was taken to a nearby hospital and later referred to Safdarjung Hospital, where he died during treatment on Saturday. He suffered burn injuries,” an officer said, adding that the Nigerian Embassy had been informed.

As investigations continue, Delhi Police have intensified efforts to locate the hotel’s accountant, Jay Mishra, and manager, Rakesh, who was reportedly inside the building when the fire started.

Police sources revealed that three hotel employees were present at the time of the incident — chef Keshav Negi, manager Rakesh, and a helper who was asleep on one of the upper floors.

According to investigators, the fire is believed to have started in the kitchen on the ground floor.

“Manager Rakesh was sitting at the reception when the fire broke out in the kitchen on the ground floor. Chef Keshav was in the kitchen when he noticed sparks in an air fryer, which led to a heat blast in the machine. However, instead of alerting others, he fled the hotel without informing anyone,” an officer associated with the investigation said.

Authorities further alleged that Negi could have alerted emergency responders or assisted in evacuation efforts.

“His arrest was made based on his alleged culpability and evidence collected during the investigation,” the officer said.

On Sunday, investigators took Negi back to the hotel to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the fire. Police questioned him regarding the origin of the blaze and the actions he took immediately afterward.

The case has also attracted the attention of political leaders. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said he spoke with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta regarding Negi’s arrest after the suspect’s family claimed he had been wrongly implicated.

“Today, I spoke with the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs. Rekha Gupta, regarding the arrest of Mr. Keshav Negi of Uttarakhand in connection with the Malviya Nagar fire incident in Delhi,” Dhami wrote on X.

According to Dhami, Gupta assured him that the investigation would be conducted fairly and based strictly on evidence.

Dhami also disclosed that he spoke with Negi’s daughter and promised support to the family while the investigation continues.

Police said Negi has been working at the hotel for the past two years and resides in Dilshad Garden, East Delhi, with his wife and two children.

Three people have been confirmed dead following a train accident involving the Warri-Itakpe Train Service (WITS) in Agbor, Delta State.

Emergency response teams were immediately deployed to the scene to assist passengers and manage the situation.

The Managing Director of the NRC, Dr. Kayode Opeifa, said relevant authorities were working together to provide support to those affected by the accident.
