MORE DETAILS ON THE CAPTURE OF THE VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT AND WIFE IN US Drone Operation

Venezuelan President Maduro and Wife Captured and Flown Out of Country in Large-Scale U.S. Operation – Trump.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and wife have been captured and flown out of the country following a successful large-scale United States operation.

9News Nigeria gathered from official White House sources that the operation was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) through a coordinated drone-led action, culminating in the arrest and extraction of President Maduro and his wife to an undisclosed location outside Venezuela.

The development follows sustained pressure by U.S. President Donald J. Trump on the Maduro administration to relinquish power, after weeks of escalating diplomatic warnings and security signals directed at Caracas. U.S. officials confirmed that the operation was executed after President Maduro failed to comply with demands to step down.

President Trump publicly announced the operation in a statement published on his Truth Social platform, confirming the success of the mission and the capture of Venezuela’s leader.

“The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The White House further confirmed that a formal news conference will be held today at 11:00 a.m. at Mar-a-Lago, where additional operational and diplomatic details are expected to be disclosed.

As of the time of publication, Venezuelan state authorities have not issued an official response, and regional governments are closely monitoring the unfolding situation. International reactions are expected as details of the operation continue to emerge.
