 Otti Slams Julius Abure Over Continued Sale of Labour Party Nomination Forms Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has strongly criticised the former National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, for proceeding with the sale of governorship nomination forms despite opposition from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and subsisting court rulings.

 Panama seizes 13 tons of cocaine on ferry headed for US

Panamanian authorities announced on Tuesday that they seized a massive shipment of cocaine bound for the United States from a ferry in the Pacific, coinciding with increased U.S. anti-drug military operations in Latin America. Prosecutor Julio Villareal said the operation, conducted on Monday, recovered about 13.2 tons of cocaine and resulted in the arrest of 10 individuals. Officials described it as one of the largest drug seizures in Panamanian waters to date.

Images released by the prosecutor’s office showed 11,562 packages of cocaine, with detainees including Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, and Nicaraguans. The ferry had departed from Colombia, a major source of cocaine destined for the United States. Panama, a key transit hub for narcotics, recorded 119 metric tons of drug seizures in 2023. The announcement comes amid heightened scrutiny of U.S. strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, which have resulted in at least 76 deaths. Similar large-scale seizures have occurred globally in recent months, including operations by Spain, France, Pakistan, and the U.S. Coast Guard, highlighting the ongoing international effort to curb cocaine trafficking.
