Three Thais arrested for robbing Nigerian man

[lostinisaan]

The Nigerian man told police that he hired a taxi to send him to Ramkhamhaeng area Wednesday evening to meet his friend to receive cash of from selling sea foods. He said the taxi driver then recommended him to eat and drink at the Seven Day restaurant.

Code word for cocaine? Don't we all listen to our cab drivers and change our plans?

The Nigerian man said two Thai women then came to sit and drink with him. After he got drunk, the taxi driver took the three to an Isaan food shop and they ate there until 5 am Thursday.

That's a lot of Somtham....

Cops Arrests Taxi Driver for Robbing Foreigner

By Khaosod Eng.

BANGKOK — Police have arrested a taxi driver and two waitresses who allegedly robbed a Nigerian man in Bangkok this week.

The 36-year-old Nigerian national reportedly told police he was invited to a dinner in Bang Na on 3 June by a taxi driver he had hired earlier in the night. Two waitresses at the restaurant later joined the pair.

At the end of the night at around 2am, when the Nigerian man reportedly was intoxicated, the waitresses helped bring him to the taxi driver’s car, police said. The driver, identified as Sarut Pawasuwanond, 32, then allegedly drove the man to an alley in Bang Bon district and punched him before stealing his belongings, worth more than 130,000 baht.

" Two birds with one stone " ! And the source of the Nigerian's 130,00 ?

[Crazy chef 1]

Pick up 80k off his mate from selling sea food LOL

sea food- the new pseudonym for dope...

"As for the money, they used it for personal leisure."

Drugs, perhaps? So the Nigerian gets back a few baht plus his phones. And the trio get fined a few baht for theft, before being back in business.

[Daniel Boon]

and where did he get the money?

[Bluespunk]

and where did he get the money?

Don't know. Since when has the victim of a crime needed to explain where they got their money.

Besides while its a large amount it's hardly an excessive sum of money.

I have a major problem with the underlying implications of your question.

It suggests that you think his money was earned illegally.

Now why would you assume that?

However if you are just that kind of person who wants to know how everyone earns their income you have my deepest condolences.

One Thai, one blonde Thai , and a pointing Nigerian who lost 2 Smart phones that were smarter than the owner. There is a who dunnit to be written or a film to be made ,great stuff. How about " The night I spilled sangsom on my somtam while using my Samsung "

Because the vast majority are bigoted white middle,/old aged men who regularly abuse young Thai ladies or girls as they call them ?

When I abuse a Thai woman even 10% of what a Thai man does, then maybe I will feel guilty.

I don't think many people would invite a viper to guard his pet budgerigar.

Well at least your honest in the fact you openly admit abusing women, the degree in comparison with Thai men is irrelevant, your still a POS, guess you have no problems abusing children either ?

[Sviss Geez]

So he was going to get money from what? Let's see that work permit, and proper visa please. He he

You and your "likers" are missing the point of this report by a mile.

[NCC1701A]

i wonder if i can get a work permit to open a halfway house for wayward Thai girls. that way the girls will have a place to stay when they get out of jail.

[Shiver]

What an about face .. usually it is the Nigerians who rip-off and steal from the Thais and farangs.

In this case, I feel sorry for the three Thais.

Why?

I feel sorry for the three Thais also, but only in so much as they believe this is a smart way to health and happiness.

[Bluespunk]

@Daniel Boon

Got one and am enjoying it immensely.

Remarkably free from knee jerk prejudices as well.

Wonder if the two things are related.....

while there seems to be no lack of unsavory farangs in thailand one thing i have observed is at clubs/discos most of the time security ejects unruly problem women. even at upscale thonglor clubs i have seen the same. its certainly not nice or fitting that many women become criminal-lowlifes and although they have my empathy it is the final product that we deal with. can you elaborate on abuse of thai girls?

[raphoedon]

I'd be happy to say that this is a pointless story, there are however four points that need to be considered. I think the best point is from the girl on the left of the picture. Pointing perfection personified!

[RigPig]

Obiora Vincen Izegbu, 36, a Nigerian, filed a complaint with the Bang Na police station at 1 pm Thursday that he had been robbed by a taxi driver and two women early in the day.

I was absolutely devastated to read the news today that Obiora Vincen Izegbu had been robbed.

He was supposed to be paying me my thirty-four million pounds tomorrow............................

Don't worry, he is a friend of mine. I will transfer the money to you. Now if you will send me your bank account details...

sanuk711, congratulations on winning the second prize!!!

I just wanted to tell you both not to worry, I just got an email from Oblora and he is just waiting for the 100,000 Baht I transferred to the helpful Thai lady at ¨The Bureau for Monetary Transfers¨ (it was REALLY good of her to let me use her bank account). As soon that goes through I should be receiving my 1,000,000, Pound payout and then they will be able to proceed with the minor payments

Some posters here are simply ridiculous!! There are very decent and good Nigerian businessmen out there. I saw another post last week with a Farang complaining that Thai schools now give jobs to "very black" Africans now just because the victim is a Nigerian , there is much room for racist comments. This is BS

[wow64]

Have seen this guy selling "seafood" in soi 7.. Not sure if you can get a work permit for the kind of work he does.

Sent from my c64

Your right, in the UK I got letters from them on a regular basis for many years............

You too!

I always go out with people I just met with 130,000 baht in my pocket.

really. The irony here is legion. Selling "seafood".... Is that what the kids call it these days?

[falangjim]

to meet his friend to receive cash of from selling sea foods.

I had no idea Nigerians in Thailand were in the sea food business.

The story reads like a guy out on the night with a couple of Nana hos from Soi 4, which is where I believe 7 Seas is located. Funny story, actually.

[willyumiii]

Wow!

A Nigerian victim? ( a first for me )

Girls sitting, drinking with and getting him drunk at a restaurant??

Leaving with the girls and going where to do what?

Sure had a lot of cash on him...and two phones?

Selling fish is more lucrative than I ever imagined!

In the photo...the "blonde" looks very pleased with herself!

I'm still waiting for the punch line.....

What are the odds this scam is just part of a larger scam??

[willyumiii]

Something is going on here that doesn't "meet the eye"!

Why does this girl look so pleased with herself?

I suspect this "scam" is part of a larger scam!
