Colombia's most-wanted drug lord Dairo Antonio Usuga, alias 'Otoniel', captured

Dairo Antonio Usuga, Colombia's most-wanted drug lord, also known as 'Otoniel', was arrested by the country's authorities in Necocli on Saturday (October 23).

Following Otoniel's arrest, Colombian President Ivan Duque called the move as 'the hardest strike to drug trafficking in the country this century'.

The United States had offered a $5 million bounty for information leading to the arrest of 50-year-old head of Gulf Clan, Otoniel, who took over the gang's leadership from his brother Juan de Dios in 2012.
