Thailand Arrests Nigerian With Drug Hidden in Anus

A Nigerian staying illegally in Thailand for 14 months has been arrested on both immigration and drug charges after officers found crystal methamphetamines hidden in his anus.

A suspiciously acting Godwin Chinedu Agbarakwe, 35, was stopped by Pattaya Tourist Police on a Third Road side street on 24 February. A cavity search of his person revealed the drug in his anus.

Police said Friday that the suspect claimed he turned to selling drugs when his clothing import-export business failed.

Officers said the Nigerian entered Thailand on a three-month visa on 8 September 2012.
He’s been overstaying that visa since 8 December, 2012.

Nigerian Law Makers, Highest Paid In The World


The huge and large amount being paid as salary to the country’s legislators, which is ranked the highest in the world, according to a new study, has attracted criticisms from Nigerians across the country, including economists and lawyers. The Economist magazine revealed that Nigerian federal legislators with a basic salary of $189,500 per annum (N30.6m) were the highest paid lawmakers in the world.

Report gave that; the basic salary (which excludes allowances) of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person of $1,600. The $189,500 earned annually by each Nigerian legislator is estimated to be 52 per cent higher than what Kenya legislators, who are the second highest paid lawmakers, earned.
