Three Nigerian nationals arrested over cocaine trafficking and visa overstay

Immigration police have arrested two Nigerian males in a cocaine trafficking crackdown in Bangkok, Thailand.

Police seized 103 grammes of the drug and gear allegedly used to dilute it with chalk and baking soda.

Pol Maj Gen Kongchat Leangsomsap, chief of Immigration Division 1, mentioned on Saturday, October 17, 2026 that the operation was carried out with the Office of the Narcotics Control Board.

The first suspect, aged 42, was arrested on October 16 after allegedly promoting cocaine to an secret agent within the Nawamin space.

He allegedly informed police he had obtained the drug from one other Nigerian man, aged 43, who was subsequently arrested at a close-by residence.

A search of the second suspect’s room uncovered about 101g of cocaine.

He allegedly admitted shopping for chalk and baking soda to combine with cocaine to maximise income.

Police additionally arrested a 3rd Nigerian man, aged 21, at a restaurant in Nawamin for allegedly overstaying his visa.
