Thai authorities have apprehended two Nigerian men for possessing cocaine in Pattaya, Chon Buri Province. According to a report by Thaiger, immigration officers seized six grammes of cocaine hidden inside a cooker hood in the men's shared apartment on Friday. The men, aged 25 and 29, were detained after a tip-off that one of them was in Thailand illegally.
Upon immigration checks, it was discovered that one was residing in the country without proper documentation while the other entered on a tourist visa. The room underwent a thorough search lasting over 20 minutes before the drug cache was discovered. Preliminary tests revealed traces of drugs in one suspect, while the other tested negative.
Both men, who had procured the cocaine from a local acquaintance and intended to use it themselves, denied plans to distribute it. The suspects were subsequently handed over to the Pattaya City Police Station for further legal procedures.
