webfact Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Nigerian brothers arrested over drugs sent by post to Nonthaburi By Supachai Phetchthewee The Nation Three Nigerian nationals were arrested in Nonthaburi’s Muang district this week along with 2,750 ecstasy pills, with a SIM card logo in the shape of a phone, which reportedly were sent via a post from Belgium to the gang, Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sutthipong Wongpin said on Friday. The suspects – Justin Chiedozie Uzukwu, 30, his elder brother Declan Kaodichi Uzukwu, 32, and Okwor Stephen Onyema, 35 – were arrested along with the ecstasy pills plus eight grams of cocaine and eight grams of marijuana at Justin’s rented house in Tambon Bang Krasor of Muang Nonthaburi. Police also seized a Nissan Sunny sedan, several passports, and a post package with traces of ecstasy pills sent from Belgium, Sutthipong said. The ecstasy pills – which were forwarded to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board for further inspection – were sent to the gang via post from Belgium and the gang reportedly distributed it to others at Bt500 per pill. The three men’s arrest on Tuesday stemmed from a previous bust in which Japanese police had arrested seven Thai women for smuggling drugs into Japan, which pointed the police probe towards the gang of Nigerian suspects, Sutthipong said. Justin Chiedozie Uzukwu was charged with possessing ecstasy pills with the intent to sell them, having other illicit drugs in his possession and overstaying his visa, while his brother was charged with overstaying his visa. Police have revoked the third man’s visa. Sutthipong said his office would co-ordinate with their Japanese and Belgium counterparts to arrest more accomplices. Sutthipong also urged the public to alert the Immigration Bureau to foreigners acting suspiciously, renting accommodation while not acting like tourists, or with no visible means of legal support. People can call the hotline 1178 or send a message via the website www.immigration.go.th.

the guest Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Perhaps immigration can start profiling visitors to Thailand in determining if their stay is a legitimate one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one judge a person with no means of legal support? Now we have to show we have money so we are not suspicious?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiyen Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 What about the Immigration scheme whereby tourists can be asked to prove they have more than B20,000 to survive on when entering the country. Surely a lot of the Africans would not have that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I have to be honest even though it is politically incorrect. I am surprised Nigerians are allowed to travel anywhere outside their country. They have a well deserved reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitnessHealthTravel Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Please don’t be Politically Correct. It is what it is and they are what they are. Send them home and blacklist the Country for a few years and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
