Tumakuru district witnessed a thrilling chase scene on Monday that could rival a movie script. Information has now come to light that the national highway was briefly blocked during an operation to apprehend accused involved in a theft at Jagadamba Jewelry store near #BencheGate in #Kalamabella, #Shira taluk. Thanks to the courageous pursuit by locals and swift police action, four accused individuals were finally caught. After the robbery that took place on February 22 around noon, the accused fled in a Bolero car. Locals chased them for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, covering an estimated 15 kilometers on the national highway. The accused's vehicle reached up to #Tavarekere. During this chase, the locals provided information about the robbers' vehicle to the police. Upon receiving the information, police immediately barricaded and blocked the national highway at Tavarekere, setting a trap for the accused. However, noticing the police alert, the accused made a U-turn on the highway itself and escaped. They managed to evade the police for some time. Unable to flee Tumakuru district, the accused took refuge in the Huilu Dore forest area. Based on information, police conducted a combing operation in the forest overnight. First, an individual named Dungar Singh fell into the police net. Later, around midnight, Mahendra Singh and Madhu Singh were arrested. In the early morning, Arvind was also found in the same forest. It was discovered that the jewelry had been hidden under a large, fallen tree in the forest. Police have seized the stolen gold ornaments and arrested the four accused. A case has been registered at Kalamabella Police Station in this connection, and investigations are ongoing. The bravery of the locals and the swift operation by the police have garnered widespread appreciation from the public. The thrilling scenes of the cinematic chase are now going viral and capturing attention.

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Attorney in Puerto Rico SEIZED RIGGED Voting Machines - Turned Over to Tulsi Gabbard & ODNI Emerald Robinson ✝️ can now confirm what she’s been holding for some time and hinting at since 2025 on @theAbsolutewithE: A secret task force led by U.S. Attorney Stephen Muldrow, working with Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, seized electronic voting machines used in Puerto Rico’s 2024 elections...machines that reportedly failed at over 70% of polling stations. These machines were not wiped or reprogrammed and are now in the hands of U.S. National Intelligence, under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, for analysis of voter fraud and foreign interference. Tulsi’s office confirmed to corporate media today: “ODNI conducted an examination of electronic voting systems used in Puerto Rico’s elections.” Now CNN and Reuters are scrambling, parroting the claim that Gabbard has “no authority.” But under a @BarrackObama executive order and a Joe Biden national security directive, ODNI is the lead federal agency on election infrastructure threats. Tulsi is doing her job and the swamp is panicking. Stay tuned. This story is just getting started.

🚨 ATOK IS BURNING: Lawlessness, Illegal Mining, and Absolute Chaos! 🚨 The ticking time bomb in Atok has finally exploded. In a horrifying display of lawlessness, illegal miners reportedly illegal Zimbabwean nationals went on a rampage, torching multiple family homes and leaving an entire village in ashes. This catastrophic disaster sparked from a bitter, long-simmering dispute between foreign nationals and local community members. It begs the ultimate question: Who is actually benefiting from this illegal mining? These foreign nationals are hired to drive the economic sabotage of South Africa, acting as the foot soldiers for syndicates operating massive, illicit chrome mines. When you fuel an illegal shadow economy, you are playing with fire. Now, those flames are consuming our communities. The tension turned lethal when a local community member allegedly took matters into their own hands, shooting and killing a Zimbabwean national. The retaliation was swift, lawless, and brutal. A mob targeted the village, burning down homes and destroying livelihoods in a flash of vengeful violence.

The duo were arrested with the assistance of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on May 25, 2024, at Ibiye, along the Lagos-Badagry expressway, as they attempted to cross the land border to deliver the consignment to Ghana. According to NDLEA's Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, the husband and wife were found with 42 blocks of cocaine weighing 47.5 kilograms. A subsequent raid on their residence in Agbara, Ogun State, uncovered an additional eight blocks of cocaine weighing 10 kilograms, bringing the total seizure to 57.5 kilograms. The statement reads: "A cocaine trafficking cartel headed by a couple: Bolanle Lookman Dauda and Olayinka Toheebat Dauda has been smashed in Lagos and Ogun States by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, with multi-billion-naira worth of the illicit drug recovered in two major operations following the arrest of the kingpin and his queen in one of the intelligence-led raids. "The duo were arrested on Saturday 25th May 2024 by operatives of a special operation unit in NDLEA with the support of the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States at Ibiye, along Lagos-Badagry expressway while attempting to cross the land border to deliver the consignment in Ghana. "At the point of their arrest, 42 blocks of the Class A drug weighing 47.5 kilograms were found on them. A swift follow-up operation in their residence at Plot 24/25 OPIC extension, Petedo road, Agbara, Ogun State, led to the recovery of an additional eight blocks of the same drug weighing 10kg, bringing the total weight of the cocaine seized from the couple to 57.5 kilograms. In a related operation, NDLEA operatives also recovered 1,100 ampoules of fentanyl, a lethal synthetic opioid, from two members of a drug trafficking syndicate at the Idumota market in Lagos Island. Additionally, 432 grams of methamphetamine were seized from two individuals in a separate raid on Lagos Island. The statement said, "In another raid by the special operation unit, no fewer than 1,100 ampoules of lethal synthetic opioid, fentanyl, weighing 6.48kg were recovered from a member of a drug trafficking syndicate, 34-year-old Ikeh Stanley Ifeanyi at the popular Idumota market in Lagos Island. "No less than 790 ampoules of the dangerous opioid weighing 5.273kg were equally seized from another member of the fentanyl syndicate, 48-year-old Chieze Ogechukwu Benjamin who was also arrested at Idumota market. Fentanyl, a lethal synthetic opioid, which is 100 times more potent than heroin is currently responsible for over 70% of overdose deaths as well as a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the US. "Two other persons: Olayiwola Aremu Kazeem, 37, and Ogunfowora Taofik Ajibola, 35, were arrested on Lagos Island in a different raid by NDLEA officers with 432 grams of methamphetamine recovered from them.

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), Israeli forces entered Blida around 1:30 am with several military vehicles and stormed the municipal building, where they shot and killed Ibrahim Salameh, a municipal employee who had been sleeping inside at the time. The troops withdrew at approximately 4 am. The Lebanese army entered the building afterward and recovered Salameh’s body, NNA reported. The Israeli army confirmed on Thursday morning that it carried out the operation in Blida overnight, claiming it was “part of an operation to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure.” During the raid, the military said its forces “identified a suspect in a building” and opened fire after “an immediate threat” was detected. Israeli officials alleged that Hezbollah had used the municipal building for “terror activity under the guise of civilian infrastructure,” calling it “another example of a pattern of behavior that endangers the residents of Lebanon.” An Israeli military source said that Lebanese army troops arrived at the scene after the withdrawal and said there was no confrontation between the two sides.

Former South African FM Calls Out The West’s Double Standard On International Law Naledi Pandor has a point. Back in 2022, the South African former foreign minister argued at a Council on Foreign Relations event that international law must be applied equally, not according to Western interests. At the time, Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine was on people’s minds. Liberals in the West flaunted Ukrainian flags on their homes while ignoring that the US-led NATO had provoked the war over many years. Yet, when Israel invaded Gaza, flattened its cities, put its hospitals out of service, and k*lled thousands of women and children, international law didn’t hold the same weight. The West has continued to arm and fund its ally, Israel, and permitted it to ignore International Court of Justice rulings to end its att*cks, its occupation and its ap*rtheid against Palestinians. When will international law ever really matter? Drop us a comment if you’ve got an idea. For more like this, follow The Spearhead.

90 undocumented foreign nationals found living in overcrowded Johannesburg home A shocking discovery unfolded in the upscale suburb of Houghton as Johannesburg Metro Police (JMPD) and the City’s Public Safety Department raided a residential property, uncovering 90 undocumented foreign nationals living in squalid conditions. Acting on a tip-off, authorities found the individuals crammed into makeshift rooms divided by curtains, highlighting a stark violation of immigration and municipal bylaws. The raid led to the arrest of an undocumented foreign national who is a rent collector, who was found hiding in overgrown grass behind the property. Investigations point to a third-party figure, described as a white male, who is now under scrutiny. While no evidence of human trafficking or drugs was uncovered, the case has raised concerns about illegal property occupation in the city. Dr Mgcini Tshwaku, MMC for Public Safety, condemned the situation, urging residents to report similar violations. The property has been flagged for closure, with JMPD ensuring no reoccupation occurs. The 90 individuals face deportation or legal action as authorities work to restore order.
