Two African men have been detained in Bangkok after a person caught trying to smuggle cocaine into Japan made them responsible for drug trafficking.
Both men were found to get overstayers and are currently facing immigration issues in addition to their drug-related reported offenses.  ,
Ihejimba Bright Chimezie and Azubuike Chdiebere David were detained on Tuesday when multiculturalism and cocaine command officers searched a apartment building on Navamin-Ram Intra street in the Kannayao area, according to Pol Maj Gen Phanthana Nuchanart, deputy director of the immigration commission, on Wednesday.  ,
Initial offenses for overstaying their visa were brought against them, and they were turned over to immigration attorneys for quick legal actions.
A Thai lady who had ingested 59 tiny packets of the drug, totaling about 700 grams, had previously been detained by Chinese police. According to Pol Maj Gen Phanthana, the methamphetamine had a value of about 2.1 million ringgit.
One of two African men in Bangkok who was reportedly involved in illegal drugs was the woman who told investigators that she had been in a relationship with him.
According to Pol Maj Gen Phanthana, Chinese officials had pleaded with Thai authorities for their assistance, who had led to the men’s arrest.  ,
The inspection is advancing.
