Bangkok Sting Targets Nigerian Drug Traffickers

Undercover Operation in Bangkok Leads to Arrest of Nigerian Drug Traffickers

Bangkok police disguised as construction workers carried out a sting operation that led to the arrest of eight Nigerian nationals and one Thai accomplice. The suspects were allegedly distributing illegal substances to tourists in the Nana area using a “spit-and-sell” technique to evade detection. Officers had been monitoring the group after multiple reports of drug sales and theft in the neighbourhood. The operation was part of an ongoing effort to improve safety and restore confidence among visitors. Authorities have vowed to continue clamping down on organised criminal networks targeting tourists.
