 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years.

 Nigerian Woman Arrested in Major Drug Seizure in India


A 40-year-old Nigerian woman, Roselime Oluchi Ikeoha, was arrested in Bengaluru, India, in connection with one of the city’s largest drug trafficking busts. The Anti-Narcotics wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) recovered 12 kilograms of MDMA, a powerful synthetic drug, from her possession, valued at approximately ₹24 crore.


Police Commissioner B. Dayananda confirmed the arrest, describing the seizure as one of the biggest in Bengaluru and Karnataka. Investigations revealed that Ikeoha had been running a grocery store in the TC Palya area for five years, which allegedly served as a front for her drug distribution activities.


“This is one of the largest drug seizures in Bengaluru and Karnataka. The CCB team successfully dismantled an international MDMA crystal drug network, seizing 12 kg of pure white and yellow MDMA,” Dayananda stated.


During the raid on Ikeoha’s premises, officials discovered 70 SIM cards, suggesting a wider criminal operation. Ikeoha reportedly confessed to selling the drugs at inflated prices and provided information on her suppliers, including a potential link to a Mumbai-based woman involved in the drug trade.


Authorities are now investigating Ikeoha’s suppliers and the role of the Mumbai woman, as well as the significance of the 70 SIM cards found in her possession. Ikeoha, who entered India on a business visa five years ago but overstayed after it expired, faces charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Foreigners Act.
