Two Nigerian Romance Scammers Arrested In Bangkok, Thailand (Photos) by metronaija4: 10:19am On Feb 10, 2018
Two Nigerian "Romance Scammers" preying on gullible Thai women on Facebook were arrested in Bangkok, on Thursday.

Briefing reporters at the police station in the Khao San area of Bangkok, deputy tourist police bureau commissioner, Surachet Hakpal also known Big Joke in the Thai media - said the Nigerian nationals, Emeka Celestine Eze, 31, and 44-year-old Oliver Obiora, pretended to be someone else and conned a Khamphaeng Phet woman out of a million baht.

It was the usual story in such cases. After gaining the confidence and love of a woman they said they had sent gifts but money needed to be transferred to an account to secure their release from customs.

Other victims in the Kamphaeng Phet area are expected to come forward.

Emeka was nabbed with electronic evidence at the Regent Home Condo in Bang Na while his sidekick Oliver was taken down while attempting to flee the country at Don Meuang airport.


The money they obtained was laundered in the Pratunam area of Bangkok.

They were charged with computer fraud, false pretenses, illegal use of ATM cards and Oliver was on overstay too.

Let the government provide young people with jobs and enabling environment to earn money legally. The police and other security outfits keep frustrating businesses, leading young people to go and commit crime.

Dude, don't provide excuse for them by blaming the government. There are other ventures such as farming and food processing which can give them legitimate wealth. Rather, they choose to exploit the "weak" so as to make fast forex to buy cars that people will envy them.
It's a pity that the crime does not warrant death sentence!!!

Of all 100 cases of crime perpetrated in Asia, developers account for 99.5% of them.
Ask me and I'd say keep hanging them.

The truth is, Nigerians by their reliance on imported stuff, and by their refusal to allow government to deregulate fuel, power, etc, make it difficult for investors to pump in more money to develop the economy to the level that it could produce jobs.

We refuse to pay power bills...which means that our DISCOS and GENCOS have zero cash to improve things...and thus job losses.

Also, we refuse to be innovative. We won't take the risk and go industrial...we would rather sell imported stuff.

And usually...when we say govt should provide jobs...it is white collar jobs we mean. Well, countries don't get developed by producing more clerks.

undecided My sis Nigeria is really a shiithole. Govt wud not provide jobs for people. When they manage to establish businesses they kill the business. That is y I laugh at those who often say go and start business as if it that easy.

You think all the government jobs available is enough to go round all the unemployed graduates even if due process is to be followed. Government doesn't create job but rather it is their responsibiity to provide good policy that will make private sector thrive. Better wake up from your slumber.

What is this one saying? You mean there are no criminals in countries like US or Canada? Or are the environment not enabling enough? A criminal is a criminal, stop defending them except if you are one or a potential one already preparing your defence if nabbed.

The real question is why were these youths unable to come up with legitimate ideas when they were in a country with proper infrastructure and an enabling environment?

We sincerely apologise for the intense heat all over the world . This is due to the general maintenance going on in Hell Fire. This maintenance is imperative to accommodate more Nigerian politicians when the world eventually ends. We sincerely regret any inconveniences this may have caused.
