The suspect identified as Samuel Egbujonuma Silas, was arrested in cocaine sting operation on Thursday, May 7, 2026, after an undercover investigation targeting foreign suspects linked to drug sales in the resort town.

Officers seized more than 10 grams of cocaine from Silas at a clothing store in Patong and found he had overstayed his visa by 550 days, police said.

He was charged with possession and intent to sell a Category 2 narcotic (cocaine) and overstaying his visa.

The suspect was transfered to Patong Police Station for prosecution.

Pol Lt Gen Saksira Puek-am said he ordered the crackdown to address offences committed by foreigners.

Investigators used undercover agents to infiltrate groups suspected of selling narcotics in the area.

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’

Exactly what I have noticed over the years. Always accusing others of exactly what they are doing wrong in secret.

One thing Nigerians abroad who involve in crime do not care about is that their actions are making it difficult for good intentioned Nigerians to travel.
