Eight Nigerian men and six Thai suspects have been arrested for alleged collusion in an online romance scam, swindling nearly Bt2 million from Thai women in Ratchaburi, Samut Sakhon, Phitsanulok, Chon Buri and Bangkok’s Dusit district.

Two Thai male suspects - out of the 11 individuals wanted for the nighttime abduction of a 39-year-old woman at Suvarnabhumi Airport on May 6 for a Bt15 million ransom - have been brought into custody, a police source said yesterday.
