Undercover police who dressed like construction workers arrested numerous suspected Nigerian drug traffickers in the Nana area of Bangkok early Sunday morning.

Pol Maj Gen Theeradet Thumsuthee, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said 40 plainclothes detectives – dressed mostly as a team of concrete workers – arrested eight Nigerian men and a Thai suspect aged 23-41 in the Nana area of Bangkok just after 12am Sunday.
According to the deputy Bangkok police chief, the undercover operation by Bangkok and narcotics suppression police on Sukhumvit 11 Road in Watthana district responded to online complaints and warnings about African drug traffickers and pickpockets annoying tourists in the Nana area.

Such drug dealers normally hold packets of cocaine and drugs in their mouths, he said. If there are customers, they spit out the packets and sell the drug. If police show up, they swallow the packets and run.

The undercover detectives quietly approached groups of suspected traffickers and arrested them red-handed. They consisted of eight Nigerian men aged 23-41 and a 36-year-old Thai national from Udon Thani province.
Police seized two packets of cocaine, weighing altogether four grammes, on the spot. They were waiting for other suspects to empty their bowels, expecting to seize more narcotics.

Pol Maj Gen Theeradet said narcotics were smuggled into the country by drug dealers who swallowed packets of drugs and arrived by air. Once the drugs were retrieved from the smugglers' digestive systems, they were sold at tourist destinations.
During the operation, many tourists praised police and said such drug traffickers in the area were annoying, the deputy Bangkok police chief said.

More details of the arrest

Bangkok based businessmen, importers/Exporters 😂 😆
Get rich or you die trying crew.
African Mexicans 😆

There's nothing to add.

At least their people here on NL have given up blaming Nigeria for their youth going abroad to engage in all manner of illicit activities.
Being Thailand, these guys are seeing serious hard time that could be as long as an entire life sentence.

Who do we blame?

Abike? Tinubu? Gowon? Nigeria?

Any one who refuses to self reflect will always end up blaming others.

Well, nothing of value will be missed and they are probably better off spending the rest of their lives in the notorious Bangkok Hilton.
