Nigerian, Kiwi, Thai charged in Bangkok meth bust

A Nigerian man and a Thai woman have been charged with delivering 2,060 grams of crystal methamphetamine (“ice”) to a New Zealand man at a Bangkok hotel on Saturday.

 

A source at the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Sunday initial investigation determined that John Oimma Emeka and Wararat Chansod, both 42, had reserved the hotel room where the alleged delivery took place.

 

 

The source said Isidor Rein, 62, of New Zealand allegedly received a briefcase with a secret compartment containing the drugs to take to his country.

 

Thai agencies working as part of the Airport Interdiction Task Force made the arrests following a September 12 tip-off about a New Zealand man set to receive drugs to smuggle home. 

 

With police on surveillance, Rein allegedly asked hotel staff to arrange a taxi ride for him on Saturday while he was waiting for “friends” in his room. 

 

 

Emeka and Wararat allegedly arrived that afternoon with the briefcase and all three people were arrested when they returned to the lobby.

Looks to be a classic case of deflection.  Phone in a tip about a guy with 2 kilos while the other mule with 6 kilos skates right on by.

Sharp business man that Nigerian. Buy your drugs from me and get a free Louis Vuitton bag with a secret compartment.

'Isidor' Sounds like something out of LOTR, maybe he's a JRR Tolkien fan?  ?

Isidor is of Greek origin meaning the gift of Isis or whatever....Rein is Germanic....and there ends the lesson of the day ?

It's an odd name for a Kiwi. Especially the christian name. Isis was an Egyptian goddess though, not prevalent in Greek mythology as far as I know, so I'd be interested to know if it's Greek, Mediterranean or more ancient. Whatever it's derivation, it sounds unusual for a fat, 60 something, mullet wearing Kiwi. Fake passport or free-spirited parents?

Looks like hired homeless mule

[bristolgeoff]

Just another one who thought he would get away with it.the Bangkok Hilton awaits for all of them

Great, now maybe they can get them to make a plea deal and supply the name of their supplier.

Not even a  bl@@dy Maori name, let alone English, Scots, Irish Welsh.   

Oh, hang on a minute Cobber.......  Isidor, Isis, Irish.  Close enough!   Yep.  He is one of your typical Kiwis. 

However, he would almost certainly have got nailed going through NZ customs anyway.  They Xray ALL hand luggage and especially carefully on suspicious looking types!  Like a Greek German with a Kiwi passport and a mullet haircut.  

[lanista]

Where did he find that jacket and shirt ?  I know NZ is a poor country but surely they  have better seconds than that.

He was probably going to wear it out to the airport.

Mind boggles.

I don't about the prisons here but in The U S at his age his tail hole would be a different size also.by the time he gets out.

[shackleton]

a Nigerian involved again in drugs

and people ask why do the Thai police and immigration target these people ?

He bought it brand new desu.  Methamphetamine users aren't known for their stellar personal hygiene and fashion sense.

I wouldn't think deflection. If that was the aim, the guy would have boarded the plane and then the ' snitch ' would phone ahead to the authorities. That way I could see your point in the authorities attention being diverted to a smaller fish and the bigger one escaping.

 

On this occasion, to catch him in a hotel before he has even begun his journey seems like he has just been thrown to the wolves, maybe to keep ' police numbers '  for drug arrests up there, maybe someone didn't like him or maybe, somebody had a problem with his Nigerian dealer/supplier.

 

On a footnote, considering his age, scruffy appearance, and dress, he definitely looks like purely a ' drugs mule'.

 

He certainly isn't any Pablo Escobar, that's for sure.

I think the jacket was a made to measure garment , made to fit who I can't imagine.

[Fallangpakwan]

Hopefully they will keep the rat in Bangers Hilton forever, NZ jails are already overflowing.

[anon789561]

not really a story anymore, daily nigerian drug dealers and scammers being arrested.

"Nigerian family spotted taking 2 week break in thai holiday resort" that'd be a story 

[bananafish]

Which one is Wararat? Oh it's the one with the hat that say 'Wararat' on it. 

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

The Kiwi with generous belly hanging down, dressed in rags. Looks he just completed 25 years on a barstool. Definitely the type to get extra scrotiny by Customs officials on the NZ side. Can't believe he thought he could get away with it. The poor man must have been out of funds and desperate. There is always a better way to survive then to carry drugs through an international airport. No sympathy for his handlers.
