[FoxNews] Victims allegedly lured to hotel before being killed at nearby mortuary for organ sales
An extensive organ-harvesting ring has been uncovered in Nigeria after weeks of covert surveillance, local officials have said.
In a statement shared on X, the Imo State Police Command said their investigation was launched after reports of a worrying spate of kidnappings near a hotel and mortuary in Ngor Okpala.
According to police, intelligence-led investigations went on to identify a man called High Chief Stanley Oparaugo, also known as "Morocco," as the suspected leader of the criminal network and who is now on the run and wanted, per reports.
A man described as High Chief Stanley Oparaugo from the Jessy Best Hotel is now wanted.
Oparaugo is alleged to own Jessy Best Hotel in Ihitte Okwe and the nearby mortuary known as Ugwudi.
Police said victims were said to have been lured into the hotel before being robbed and abducted, with families also forced to pay ransom.
Authorities said some people who paid never saw their loved ones again.
The Command said abducted victims were then taken from the hotel to the mortuary, where they were allegedly killed and their organs harvested for sale.
When officers raided the Jessy Best Hotel, it was abandoned, but at the mortuary they found decomposed and mutilated corpses.
Police spokesperson Henry Okoye said more than 100 bodies had been found.
"A hotel and a private mortuary owned by the suspect, allegedly used by kidnappers and violent criminals, were inspected," he said in a statement.
"At the mortuary, decomposed and mutilated corpses were discovered in unhygienic conditions, raising suspicions of illegal organ-harvesting activities."
He added that the suspect’s residence was also searched and "crucial exhibits" were recovered, with forensic teams documenting evidence for the ongoing investigation.
"Maximum security has been deployed along the Owerri–Aba Expressway. The Command assures travelers during the holidays of its commitment to their safety," he added.
Nigeria has seen a rising amount of crime with kidnappings and abductions.

It is naive to think that there are only two religions in competition in Nigeria.

OK, this is a bit appalling, but we should recognize that civilizational progress is being made. Where once they ate the hearts of their enemies, now they are selling them on Ebay.
Sunni and Shiite Islam, Catholic and Protestant Christianity, Judaism — which the natives took to with great enthusiasm in the oddest places, claiming they were reclaiming ancient tribal tradition — and then it gets odder. Wikipedia, which we don’t trust for anything remotely political, has a nice article on the subject here.

[Regnum] On the night of December 8, a "black" solar flare occurred on the Sun, a beautiful and rare phenomenon. This was reported by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
According to scientists, after the flare, a cloud of dense, cold hydrogen was torn apart and scattered across the solar disk for approximately 1 million kilometers. This dark, faintly glowing, cold substance, against the bright background of the Sun, created the appearance of either a ghostly black flame dancing in Solonets's atmosphere or a mysterious dark fog that enveloped a third of the Sun's disk for several hours.
The laboratory added that by the morning of December 8, this cloud had completely disappeared, as most of it “evaporated” in the heat of the Sun, and the rest dissipated.
On the morning of December 8, scientists recorded a solar flare of the highest class X. It lasted for 15 minutes and was accompanied by a disruption of short-wave radio communications.
The day before, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported strong magnetic storms on Earth on December 9–10. Scientists attributed these storms to a plasma ejection following a late-night M8.1-class solar flare.
On the morning of Monday, December 8, a high-level X-class solar flare was detected. This was reported by the press service of the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IFG).
“On December 8 at 08:01 Moscow time, an X2.1 flare was registered in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 4298 (S14W51),” the website of the Institute of Geophysical Problems (IPG) states.
The solar flare lasted 15 minutes and disrupted short-wave radio communications. Additionally, on the night of December 8, two solar flares of the penultimate M-class occurred—M2.5 and M2.1.
Yesterday, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences warned of strong magnetic storms on Earth on December 9–10. According to scientists, these geomagnetic disturbances were caused by a plasma ejection following an M8.1-class solar flare last night.
Before this, scientists warned that the largest sunspot complex would form on the Sun in 2025. They believe it could be the source of enormous energy for a superexplosion.
Authorities have also warned that a stronger tremor could occur in the coming days - urging the public to remain on high alert for at least a week, according to local media reports.

[Regnum] A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 struck northern Japan. The country's National Meteorological Administration reported this on Monday, December 8.
According to him, the epicenter of the tremors was located east of Aomori Prefecture. A few minutes after the earthquake, another strong aftershock occurred, which was felt by Tokyo residents.
A tsunami warning has been issued for the east and northeast coasts, with waves potentially reaching up to 3 meters high.
Earlier on December 8, a magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck the southern Turkish province of Antalya, which was felt in neighboring areas. The earthquake's epicenter was located at a depth of 28.25 kilometers.
A day earlier, a strong magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the US state of Alaska. Its epicenter was located 90 km north of Yakutat, with the focal point at a depth of 10 km. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

On December 4th, heavy fighting erupted between Fano forces (AFNF-BC 4th Corps) and regime units across Qutir 1, Addisalem, Delelo, and Shimelegara Kebeles, involving elements from six Fano divisions.
In Addisalem Kebele, close-quarters combat resulted in over 100 regime forces killed and more than 55 wounded; one heavy military truck was destroyed and eight regime soldiers were captured.
Additional clashes in Qutir 1 and Shimelegara left numerous regime bodies on the battlefield, with further heavy-weapons engagements destroying another military truck and its occupants.
[FoxNews] President demands 200,000 acre-feet released by Dec. 31 to help Texas farmers facing irrigation shortages
President Donald Trump warned Monday that Mexico’s failure to deliver water owed under a decades-old treaty is harming Texas farmers and could trigger a new tariff if the country does not immediately release a critical share of its required supply.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Mexico must release 200,000 acre-feet of water through the 1944 Water Treaty before Dec. 31 or face a 5% tariff.
"Mexico continues to violate our comprehensive Water Treaty, and this violation is seriously hurting our BEAUTIFUL TEXAS CROPS AND LIVESTOCK," the president wrote. "Mexico still owes the U.S over 800,000 acre-feet of water for failing to comply with our Treaty over the past five years."
"The U.S [sic] needs Mexico to release 200,000 acre-feet of water before December 31st, and the rest must come soon after," Trump continued. "As of now, Mexico is not responding, and it is very unfair to our U.S. Farmers who deserve this much needed water. That is why I have authorized documentation to impose a 5% Tariff on Mexico if this water isn’t released, IMMEDIATELY."
"The longer Mexico takes to release the water, the more our Farmers are hurt. Mexico has an obligation to FIX THIS NOW," he added.
Texas farm groups warned last year of a disastrous season for citrus and sugar as Mexican and U.S. officials worked to resolve a dispute over the 1944 treaty that supplies U.S. farmers with critical irrigation. The two countries have clashed over the treaty before, but drought-driven shortages were the most severe in nearly 30 years.
In April, the Trump administration and Mexican officials reached a deal to ensure Texas farmers get much-needed water from the Rio Grande, less than a month after Trump accused Mexico of withholding water promised under the treaty.
Under that agreement, Mexico committed to send water from international reservoirs and increase U.S. flow from six of Mexico’s Rio Grande tributaries through the end of the current five-year water cycle.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins called the measure a significant step forward and said the Trump administration welcomes Mexico’s continued cooperation in support of American agriculture.
Under the 1944 Water Treaty, Mexico agreed to deliver 1.75 million acre-feet of water over five years from the Rio Grande.
In exchange, the U.S. agreed to deliver 1.5 million acre-feet to Mexico from the Colorado River.
But Mexico has fallen short at times, leading to severe water shortages in the Rio Grande Valley for farmers and ranchers. Those shortages have killed crops and jobs and threatened the region’s economy.
