Colombia's largest narco- trafficking gang 'Gulf Clan' head Dairo Antonio Usuga has been captured near one of his main outposts in Necocli by security officials. In the images released by the government, the 50-year-old drug lord, who is also called as Otoniel, can be seen in handcuffs and surrounded by soldiers. In a message, Colombian president Ivan Duque said, "This is the hardest strike to drug trafficking in our country this century." He added that the arrest was "only comparable to the fall of Pablo Escobar," the infamous Colombian narco-trafficking kingpin. Otoniel, who was caught near Panama border, is one of the most feared men in Colombia. The United States had also offered a $5 million bounty for any information, which could lead to his arrest.
