A photgraph released by Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency showing the cocaine seized.

Nigeria’s anti-drug agency seized a record 1.8 tons of cocaine valued at US$278 million at a Lagos warehouse in what it described Monday as likely the country’s largest bust ever.

Five people – the warehouse manager and four “drug barons” including one profiled as a Jamaican – were arrested in connection with the drugs, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said.

It said the suspects were members of an international drug syndicate the agency has been trailing since 2018.

The agency said the drugs were found in a secluded estate in the Ikorodu area of Lagos on Sunday at a time when “the cartel was trying to sell them to buyers in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world”.

The drugs were stored in 10 travel bags and 13 drums, the agency said in a statement published along with photos of the suspects and the drugs.

The agency said the arrests and seizure were “a historical blow to the drug cartels and a strong warning that they’ll all go down if they fail to realise that the game has changed.”

Drug seizures have been rising in West Africa in the last year, indicating that traffickers have made the continent a hub to move their illegal products between South America and Europe.

Pennywise robbery leaves six dead – Police kill 4 bandits after 2 guards killed, 2 wounded

Police and crime scene investigators process the crime scene of a murder and attempted robbery at Pennywise Plaza, La Romain on Monday night. – Marvin Hamilton

POLICE are investigating a shooting and robbery at Pennywise Plaza, La Romain on Monday evening.

Reports say around 5 pm, three private security officers, two men and one woman, were shot by bandits while driving out of the Pennywise compound during an attempted hold-up. The men escaped in a waiting vehicle.

Police were called in and were able to intercept the getaway car a short time later and there was a shootout.

After a chase during which the men abandoned the getaway car and stole another vehicle, police eventually cornered them in an abandoned house.

When the smoke cleared after another exchange of gunfire, police said four bandits were found dead and three AR-15 rifles were recovered.

Newsday could not confirm whether any police officers were injured in the shootout.

The police said the security officers were transporting money in an unmarked white van. As the van left the car park and turned onto La Bel Air Road, a white car pulled in front of the van, blocking it.

Five men got out and began shooting at the van. The gunmen opened the van’s back doors and took a bag with an undisclosed sum of cash before returning to the car, which sped off.

All three security officers were hit and the two men (identified as Jeffrey Peters and Jerry Baptiste) died, while the woman was fighting for his life at the San Fernando General Hospital up to Monday night. They were said to be employed with Allied Security Services Ltd.

In a public statement on its social media pages on Monday night, Pennywise Cosmetics Ltd expressed sadness over the incident.

“The board of directors, management and staff would like to extend our sincerest condolences to the families of the victims.

“Due to these circumstances, our La Romain Plaza branch will remain closed tomorrow (Tuesday) as a sign of respect and so that our staff may get some time to focus on their mental health.”

Police are continuing investigations.(With reporting by Laurel Williams)

Pres Ali to address food security, other matters at UNGA high-level week

President Dr Irfaan Ali and Ambassador Caroline Rodrigues-Birkett

President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali will be representing Guyana on a number of fronts when the 77th United Nations General Assembly high-level week commences on Tuesday.

Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, said the head of state will participate in engagements with the Council of the Americas, CAF – Development Bank of Latin America − where he will be speaking on food security, international forum on African Caribbean Leadership and the International Economic Alliance.

“There are a number of events that His Excellency will be engaged in from Monday to Wednesday. He leaves here on Wednesday. He will be involved in approximately 17 events,” she stated.

The high-level week sees leaders from various countries promoting foreign policy. Guyana has appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd to engage in over 25 meetings promoting Guyana’s foreign policy.

“So, we are hoping to maximise this year’s high-level week. It will be the first time since COVID we will have had this number of leaders at the UN and while there are many criticisms of the UN, it is the heart of multilateralism and this is the time when many countries use the opportunity not only to make its national statement in the general debate which His Excellency President Ali will do, but it is also a time for bilateral and for sharing ideas and experiences in the various meetings that will be held,” Ambassador Rodrigues-Birkett explained.

President Ali is also slated to attend an event to be hosted by US President, Joe Biden. He will also hold discussions with the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, among other officials. Last week, the Guyanese leader left for the United Stated where he attended a meeting between Caribbean leaders and the US Vice President, Kamala Harris. He has since participated in several other engagements.

St. Kitts and Nevis’ Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Douglas in London for State Funeral

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation

Basseterre, 19th September 2022.  Foreign Minister, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, representing Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance M. Drew arrived early on the 18th of September in London for the State Funeral of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8th. Dr. Douglas was met on arrival at Gatwick airport by Representatives of King Charles III and the Foreign Secretary, Mr James Cleverly and by St. Kitts and Nevis’ High Commissioner Isaac.

His first engagement was the King’s Reception at Buckingham Palace, hosted by the King for the foreign dignitaries who had traveled to London to pay their respects to the late Monarch, who was well-regarded and globally respected for her diplomatic skills, unparalleled service to her country and the Commonwealth, as well as her quiet moral leadership and devotion to duty.

The Rt. Hon. Foreign Minister conveyed condolences, on behalf of Prime Minister Dr. Drew to HM King Charles III, the Earl of Wessex, the late Queen’s youngest son, and the Rt. Hon. Liz Truss, recently appointed Prime Minister of the UK.   He conveyed the profound sadness of the government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis on the passing of Her Majesty.  

Although this was not an occasion for politics, Dr Douglas expressed delight in meeting and engaging with old Commonwealth friends, and the opportunity to meet new leaders working in the service of their countries. 

Today, in a solemn, but fitting ceremony that celebrated the life and legacy of Her late Majesty, Foreign Minister Dr. Douglas attended the State Funeral at Westminster Abbey and then the Committal Service at St. Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle where the late Queen will be interred. During a lunch with fellow Commonwealth dignitaries at Windsor Castle, the Rt. Hon. Foreign Minister raised a toast to celebrate the 39th anniversary of the Independence of St. Kitts and Nevis and informed fellow guests that despite the sadness at Windsor Castle, at that very moment in Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts, a ceremonial Parade was ongoing. In a brief remark, Commonwealth Secretary-General Baroness Scotland KC, who had earlier read the First lesson at the State Funeral Service remarked on how the two ceremonies were a celebration of a life of service to the Commonwealth and the members of the Realm. 

The Rt. Hon Dr. Denzil Douglas, who was joined by High Commissioner Isaac, leaves Tuesday for New York as part of Prime Minister Dr. Drew’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly.
