Nigerian Man, Thailand Woman & New Zealand Man Arrested After Drug Raid By Police In Bangkok(Photos)
A Nigerian man and a Thai woman have been charged with delivering 2,060 grams of crystal methamphetamine (“ice”) to a New Zealand man at a Bangkok hotel on Saturday, September 15.
According to reports, initial investigation determined that John Oimma Emeka and Wararat Chansod, both 42, had reserved the hotel room on Sunday, where the alleged delivery took place.
Isidor Rein, 62, of New Zealand allegedly received a briefcase with a secret compartment containing the drugs to take to his country.
Thai agencies working as part of the Airport Interdiction Task Force made the arrests following a September 12 tip-off about a New Zealand man set to receive drugs to smuggle home.
With police on surveillance, Rein allegedly asked hotel staff to arrange a taxi ride for him on Saturday while he was waiting for “friends” in his room.
Emeka and Wararat allegedly arrived that afternoon with the briefcase and all three people were arrested when they returned to the lobby.
