Tourist police will soon conclude their focus on all 1,400 Nigerians living in Thailand, deputy tourist police chief Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal said on Saturday.


Surachet said police would recheck Nigerians living in Thailand to ensure they are living in accordance with the purposes they stated in their entry visa applications.

 

Surachet said singling out the entirety of one nationality for police attention was needed after “many Nigerians” were found to be taking part in romance scams deceiving Thai women. He said five Nigerians had been arrested in romance scams.

 

He spoke during a press conference held to share the progress so far of a police crackdown on romance scams.

 

Surachet said five Nigerians and 12 Thai accomplices from eight gangs had been arrested from 39 areas in Chon Buri, Surat Thani, Trat, Phitsanulok, Bangkok and other provinces for deceiving 48 Thai women out of Bt5.9 million.

 

Surachet previously launched an ongoing series of nationwide raids focused on tourists and migrant workers. The raids were initially labelled as “Operation Black Eagle”.

 

He was in August given the additional job of assistant spokesman for Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Prawit Wongsuwan.

0.36% (5 out of 1400).... statistically insignificant..... but the bahts involved are very significant....

Can we suggest that each Nigerian scammer has at least two Thai accomplices? So if they round up 1.400 Nigerian love scam suspects, will they also go after 2.800 Thai assistants?

 

Me heard the female thai assistants are ophiologists with special interest in anaconda  species

I remember a few years ago, the sister of my ex bird hooked up with a Nigerian bloke. They were running drugs across the border in south Thailand.

We told her to stop. She didn't listen. He grassed her up to the cop's. Now she's living in the big house in Bkk for next 30years.

Many racial profiling is going on here.My French mate said "most of the flags here are ignorant British mainly English " he went further to describe those racists to be victims of the class system that exists in the UK but as some say "unseen".

Now am totally confused ?

Round them all up and ship 'em off to Siberia. Useless, the lot of 'em.

 

I've met many Africans from various countries over the years and not one of them had a single good word to say about the Nigerians. That's not to say of course, that there aren't any goods ones - just that the good ones are few and far between.

not so.  This is internationally accepted.  Just the other day they rounded up Nigerians in Australia for the same scam.  Millions of dollars.  You will find the full story on the ABC.

You forgot to add they where running it from a detention centre as they where in the country illegally.

Good.

 

90% of them living or visiting here are 'up to no good', possibly 100%

On what are you basing your figures?

Give proof or sod off.
