Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye, on Wednesday said she has no regrets over some actions she took as minister. Since her appointment in August 2023, Ohanenye has been marred by controversy in office, including her threat to sue the United Nations (UN) for allegedly mismanaging funds meant for Nigeria. She was fired by President Bola Tinubu on October 23, alongside four other ministers at the time – Lola Ade-John (Tourism), Jamila Bio Ibrahim (Youth Development), Tahir Mamman (Education) and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo (Housing and Urban�Development). Two months later, she weighed in on some issues regarding her stay in office, saying she did her best as minister within the year she held sway at the Women Affairs Ministry. “I have a responsibility given to me to man that place and make sure things go right.

DRUG LORD FABIO OCHOA HAS BEEN RELEASED IN COLOMBIA AFTER SPENDING 20 YEAES IN U. S. PRISONS. (PHOTO).

 


Drug lord Fabio Ochoa has been released in Colombia after spending 20 years in U.S. prisons.


Ochoa, a notorious figure in Colombia's drug trade and a significant player in the Medellin cartel, was deported back to Colombia after serving 25 years of a 30-year sentence in the United States.


Shortly after his arrival, Ochoa was a free man again.


He landed at Bogota's El Dorado airport on a deportation flight on Monday, dressed in a gray sweatshirt and carrying his belongings in a plastic bag. Upon exiting the plane, he was greeted by immigration officials in bulletproof vests, but there were no police present to arrest him.


Colombia's national immigration agency quickly released a brief statement on the social media platform X, indicating that Ochoa was "freed to reunite with his family" after officials took his fingerprints and confirmed through a database that he was not wanted by Colombian authorities.


At 67 years old, Ochoa and his brothers built a substantial fortune as cocaine began to flood the U.S. market in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leading to their inclusion in Forbes magazine’s billionaire list in 1987.


While living in Miami, Ochoa operated a distribution center for the cocaine cartel previously led by Pablo Escobar, who was killed in a confrontation with authorities in Medellin in 1993.
