A 41-year-old Nigerian man, Ejimadu Uchechukwu Benjamin and a local woman have been arrested in Thailand over an alleged possession of cocaine.

Wichai Chaimongkol, Secretary-General of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, said on Tuesday, June 22, that officials raided a postal service company on Monday and seized 390 grammes of cocaine hidden in mascara tubes sent from Costa Rica to Pathum Thani province.

Chaimongkol said the seizure led to the arrest of Nuchanart Leela, 27, at a house in Khlong Luang district of Pathum Thani.

The young woman was suspected to have been hired by a Nigerian in order to recieve the hard drugs on his behalf.

Ejimadu was later arrested at a department store in Bang Na district of Bangkok and 79 grammes of cocaine were found in his condominium in Srinagarind area.

Investigations are still going on, and the law enforcement agencies are trying their best to nab anyone caught in the act.

The cases of drug trafficking amongst Nigerians have been very rampant these days, such that alot of people resort to the transportation of narcotics both in and out of the country.
