The Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TGANB) on Sunday apprehended a Nigerian national and two Indian associates in Manikonda, Hyderabad, in connection with a major drug trafficking case. Authorities seized 107 grams of cocaine and 25 grams of ecstasy pills, with an estimated street value of ₹30 lakh
The prime suspect, 22-year-old Chukwumeka Wisdom Onyeka, also known by aliases Victor Chukwu and Major Cartel, is a Nigerian national and BSc student at Gokul Global University, Gujarat. He had previously been arrested in a cocaine-related case in 2023, during which his Sudanese passport was seized. He was residing in Parra village, Goa.
Two Indian nationals, Gopishetty Rajesh and Bommadevara Veera Raju, were also arrested. Initially drug users, the duo later transitioned into suppliers, catering to Hyderabad’s elite circles. They have all been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Authorities have identified several clients from the trio’s network, including individuals named Phani Raj, Pavithra Reddy, Satish, Sada Shiva, Sudhir, and Bhanu.
Investigations revealed that Wisdom originally entered India in December 2022 on a student visa with a Sudanese passport. Following his arrest and release, he allegedly acquired a fake Nigerian passport through a handler named Max, also known by aliases Princewel, Buchi, and Gabriel—a suspected Nigerian drug kingpin based in Goa. Wisdom returned to Nigeria in September 2024, destroyed the forged passport, and re-entered India under his real name later that year.
The police believe Max is operating a larger syndicate, recruiting foreign students under false identities to distribute narcotics across India. Further investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire network.
![Five Key Takeaways from Trump-Starmer Meeting in the UK Aylesbury, UK – September 18, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer presented a united front on major global issues during a joint press conference at Chequers, wrapping up Trump’s three-day visit to the United Kingdom. Despite recent tensions between Washington and European allies, the meeting underscored strong transatlantic ties as the two leaders discussed Ukraine, NATO, Gaza, Afghanistan, and more. 1. Trump Says Putin ‘Let Him Down’ Over Ukraine President Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the prolonged war in Ukraine, admitting he underestimated the challenge of resolving the conflict. “I thought it would be easiest because of my relationship with President Putin, but he’s let me down,” Trump said. PM Starmer reiterated the UK’s commitment to supporting Ukraine, vowing to increase pressure on Russia and push for a lasting peace deal. 2. Divergence on Gaza, But Unity Against Hamas While both leaders condemned Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, they differed on the broader approach to the Gaza conflict. Trump avoided criticizing Israel’s ongoing military campaign, which has killed over 65,000 Palestinians, calling October 7 “one of the worst days in the history of humanity.” Starmer's previous pledge to recognize a Palestinian state was noted as a “point of disagreement,” but Trump praised the UK leader’s strong stance against Hamas. 3. Trump Praises NATO and Increased Defense Spending Once a vocal NATO critic, Trump struck a different tone, applauding the alliance’s commitment to boost defense spending. “I want to thank NATO and our wonderful head of NATO, Mark [Rutte]… They’ve done a great job,” he said, highlighting a new pledge for members to spend 5% of GDP on defense. Trump emphasized U.S. support in supplying weapons to NATO allies, stressing that the alliance was now “paying its fair share.” 4. Bagram Airbase Back in Focus Trump hinted at possible negotiations with the Taliban for the U.S. to regain access to the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, which was vacated in 2021 during the Biden administration’s withdrawal. “We’re trying to get it back,” Trump said, citing its strategic location near China’s nuclear facilities. The Taliban, however, quickly dismissed the proposal, stating they welcome engagement with the U.S. but will not allow any foreign military presence. 5. Trump Weighs in on Kimmel Firing Trump also addressed the firing of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC, following political controversy over remarks involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. “Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings… He’s not a talented person,” Trump said, dismissing concerns about free speech and framing the firing as a business decision. Conclusion: The Trump-Starmer meeting reflected a broad effort to reinforce U.S.-UK ties amid ongoing global crises. While areas of disagreement remain, particularly on Middle East policy, both leaders signaled alignment on Ukraine, NATO, and global security cooperation.](https://trendbrio.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/USA-TRUMP-BRITAIN-AND-KEIR-STARMER.webp)
