Police have arrested a Nigerian man for having allegedly selling narcotics in Bangkok.
Pol Col Thirachai Chamnarnmor, commander of the investigation subdivision 2 of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said Clement Okafor, 33, was arrested in a sting operation on Wednesday.
Thirachai said police planned the operation after drug suspects in other cases implicated Okafor as the one who allegedly supplied drug to them.
He was arrested after an undercover policeman contacted him to buy three grammes of crystal methamphetamine from him for Bt3,000. He was arrested while delivering the drug to the undercover policeman on Soi Navamin 42 in Bueng Kum district.
Police seized 255.8 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, and 716.64 grammes of heroin from Okafor, who has been working as English teacher in Thailand for one year and three months.
