Interpol Fugitive Nabbed in Bangkok with Drugs, Guns

Bangkok authorities, collaborating with the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, arrested a 40-year-old African national named Emmanuel Abbo—wanted under an Interpol warrant for international drug trafficking. The arrest occurred near Pratunam, where officers also seized small amounts of narcotics, a 9 mm pistol, two modified blank guns, ammunition, and drug paraphernalia. Abbo had overstayed a 60-day tourist visa issued in 2016 and denied ownership of the items, though drug testing returned positive. He now faces charges including drug possession, weapon offenses, visa overstay, and narcotics use. Thai authorities will coordinate with South Korean and Interpol counterparts regarding extradition and further legal proceedings.
