Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 Police swooped to arrest a Nigerian drug lord’s three Thai wives and five foreigners in a drug smuggling operation at a house in Bangkok’s Nimit Mai district. Kirisak Tantinawachai, acting commissioner of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB), said officers had uncovered a drug trafficking network in Thailand controlled by a Nigerian man called Joseph, also known as Mickey, who lives in Nigeria. The man transferred cocaine and heroin to his gang in Thailand for distribution both within the kingdom and abroad, including Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. The gang also laundered money in Thailand by using the cash to buy children’s clothes, shoes, dried fish, etc., and shipped them to Nigeria through a company owned by Nigerian nationals. The NSB officers carried out the anti-narcotics operation called Mouse Hunt today, October 27, to arrest the gang members in Thailand. They raided 17 suspicious locations and arrested eight suspects at a house in the Nimit Mai area.

Popular Post observer90210 Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 How do the nigerians manage worldwide to establish drug networks almost overnight ? Are they that smart and the authorities that incompetent ? Or is the money involved reaching such summits, that they bribe their way in almost anywhere and everywhere ? Or maybe considering the alarming amount of policy makers globally who are hidden junkies, despite their italian cut suits.....it could somewhat be a piece of the puzzle. 2 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post harleyclarkey Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 Of all Nationalities the Nigerians scheme and scam their way into any country where they can cheat and defraud. Am I exaggerating? Their own president stated on TV that Nigerians are utterly corrupt. We have an inordinate number of them in Ireland. How? As there is no direct flight to Ireland from Nigeria. You claim asylum in the 1st country you land in. I honestly have no respect for the majority of Nigerians as they have fraud and scams in their DNA from birth. Pity for a country with a lot of resources and oil reserves of 36m barrels. Why does the West, especially, take the junk from such countries when their despot tyrant leaders steal all the resources? 12 2 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Tom Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Well, when a country makes tourism from Africa, India, Russia, and China (as well as a few other garden spots on the globe) its mainstay there might "accidently" be a few unsavory characters slip in. Obviously, there are bad apples from everywhere. Every time I hard of a story like this, I am thankful that the criminal is not one of my countrymen. Thailand is a warm welcoming country and I love it here. Sometimes it is too welcoming the only criteria being money to spend. Come the think of it, the Thai government even welcomes those who pay for 90% of their holiday here in their own country before the board the airplane. ?? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal gangs of the west, the mafia, all have a lot to gain either through partnership or kickbacks from the imported criminals or the migrant traffickers-agents..you think if big money was not involved to the benefit of the local scum, they would allow it ? In Italy for instance, where the mafia is alleged to get a fat commission from the agents who exploit the misery and desperation of the migrants and facilate their entry in Schengen space. Same in Thailand with the neighbouring nations who are top level importers of anything ranging from drugs to humain traficking and so on. At the end of the day, not sure really who is to blame and who are the ones to point the finger on.

Pinot Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 You have to assume any Nigerian here is scamming something.

You have no idea, very conservative, focused on a good education. You only hear about the low lives. Not so different with any country. It’s not as if you are highlighting the boiler rooms boys from the U.K, or the varied other criminals from so many other countries in the world. You only hear about the criminals. You don’t actually know any Nigerians personally. But look at the news here, almost every day we read about some criminals from other countries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
