The head of Venezuela’s opposition-controlled parliament, Juan Guaidó, has been detained by intelligent agents.

His wife, Fabiana Rosales, said on Twitter Mr Guaidó’s whereabouts were unknown.

A video posted on social media appears to show the moment agents intercept his car in the middle of a busy road.

On Friday he said he was ready to assume the country’s presidency on an interim basis after President Nicolás Maduro was sworn in for a second term.

The opposition declared Mr Maduro’s new six-year term illegitimate.

Mr Guaidó is the speaker of the National Assembly, which has been stripped of powers by the Supreme Court.
