Thailand security operatives have arrested two Nigerians alongside their Peruvian accomplice for allegedly producing cocaine in their rented apartment, in rubber plantation in Ban Khai District of Rayong province.
The suspects identified as 43-year-old Joseph Uyamadu and Emmanuel Umiano, 33 were nabbed on Monday when the Thailand police stormed their apartment following a tipoff.
During a search carried out on the suspects’ apartment, the Thailand police discovered large portion of cocaine thrown into a flush tank, a bag containing black and sticky substance similar to raw opium, black sheets of substance, corrosive acid, electric grinder, a microwave oven, kerosene, and two cars.
According to the police, test would be carried out on all the substances found in their apartment, but it is believed that they are all the raw materials used by the suspects in producing cocaine.
The suspects are currently cooling their heels at the Ban Khai police station and will be charged to court soon, pending completion of investigation on the matter.
