The sedan finally became stuck in a ditch in Kathu. The sedan hit many vehicles during the chase. The foreign man jumped from the sedan and ran away from the police for 300 meters before he was arrested. The man was identified by police as Mr. George Ananere, 26, a Nigerian national. His passport had expired four years ago during Covid – 19. He was allegedly selling cocaine in the Cherng Talay and Patong area, and concerned anonymous citizens had reported him to police.

Popular Post retarius Posted August 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2023 Pretty much everywhere I have lived, Nigerians are involved in drugs, prostitution and general law-breaking. I wonder why they are not vetted more carefully. As the IO goes through my bank statements slowly line by line, highlighting this and that, but never asking any questions, I wonder do they do this to everybody? My visa extensions should be simple....I've never changed address since 2010....never changed bank account....it always has plenty of money....the passport of course, is changed as it expires, but has always been valid....but apart from that everything is the same. After more than 70 years of clean living, am I about to embark on a life of crime? No, I'm already old, never had a criminal conviction, never been arrested, a parking ticket or two is about it....why do I get such a hard time, when there are guys like this chap, no valid passport, no visa, dealing coke etc? Rant over, good for the RTP to catch this fellow....the only question is: was the special BMW involved in this? Askin' for a friend. 18 7 5 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making generalities is a slippery cliff. Maybe it is time for the BIB to be processing the overstay lists from immigration for all nationalities. Maybe it is time to limit O visas to one per year? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HuskerDo2 Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 The RTP police simply don't have the cranial power to create a proper way to track overstayers quicker. It usually leaves them looking like the Keystone Cops. It's so sad that Thailand could be so much more than what it is but there are too many in politics and on the local police forces and local government that simply aren't intelligent enough to lead. So many issues can be solved so quickly like the nasty air, rats, crime, overstayers, etc yet they spend their time on unimportant issues that will bring them the most publicity. Thailand could be the crown jewel of S.E.A. if only........ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
