Two Nigerians nabbed with cocaine in Thailand

Thai authorities have apprehended two Nigerian men, aged 25 and 29, after discovering six grammes of cocaine hidden inside a cooker hood in their apartment in Pattaya, Chon Buri Province. The men were found to be residing illegally in Thailand, with one of them having entered the country on a tourist visa. Immigration officers conducted a search following a tip-off, uncovering the drugs after a prolonged investigation.

Preliminary tests revealed traces of drugs in one of the suspects, who claimed they obtained the cocaine from a local acquaintance without paying for it. Both individuals denied intent to sell and were subsequently taken to Pattaya City Police Station for further legal procedures.
