Kenyan Man Arrested in Thailand Carrying 1.2 Kilos of Cocaine in His Stomach
Thailand authorities on Wednesday arrested a 43-year-old Kenyan man for allegedly attempting to smuggle cocaine into the Asian country.
Glenn Chibasellow Ooko was arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok after suspicious contents in his stomach were detected, according to Thailand’s CNA News.
X-ray photos provided by the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) showed rectangular objects in Ooko’s belly.
It was later established that the suspect, who had flown from Ethiopia on Monday, was carrying 68 cocaine packets weighing 1.2 kilograms.
“He swallowed cocaine weighing 1.2 kilograms, which were in 68 packets,” the ONCB said in a statement.
Ooko was apprehended alongside another suspect identified as Osita Joseph Ukpa, a Nigerian national who is alleged to have hired him to smuggle the narcotics.
Drug trafficking is a capital offense in Thailand and is punishable by death.
Thailand is reported to be one of the major drugs smuggling hubs in the world due to its porous borders and lax law enforcement, making it easier for transnational crime networks to transport narcotics.

Good that he got life in prison. He deserves it.
When l started reading this story, something told me there must be a Nigerian involved, and oops Osita came in.
A Nigerian involved...I like that. When you see a Nigerian involved, look for a Kenyan. They work together lol...Seems like we are brothers in crime.
These two MFKRS are Nigerians, you have allowed them to roam free in your country buying fake IDs and this is what you get. Remember hukilala chini na mbwa hunapata chawa.
Hawa wanjaluo wamekuwa wakishikwa in drugs n money printing a lot.May he be hanged immediately.Jailing him will b wasting tax payers cash in that country.Do the justice n hang him n this will bring fear to others thinking to do this criminal act again.I have no feelings with those who want to kill n destroy others thru drugs.
