Police in the Patong district of Phuket have announced the arrest of two Nigerian suspects relating to a romance scam case ran on Tinder. The two Nigerian suspects are identified as:

• Mr. Chigozie Fortune Ejiofor
• Mr. Anyadike Solomon Amarachi

Four other suspects who are Thai nationals have been arrested in connection with the case.

The full names of the Thai suspects were not available in the report.

The details of how the scam operated are still slim in the report, but we will update when they come in.

Mr. Amarachi was found to have overstayed in Thailand for 286 days. Mr. Ejiofor had also overstayed his visa for 692 days.

My take: Let’s see how this case plays out.

Special Note about Facebook

My personal profile on Facebook was completely nuked — BOOM, just deleted with no warning. This isn’t just a Facebook jail sentence. I was completely banned from the platform.

12+ years of connections, networking, content, the whole works is just poof gone.

So look, if you came to this page from Facebook, and you’d like to continue to read True Crime Thailand content in the event that my group and page are taken off the platform (it’s inevitable), then I only ask that you sign up to my newsletter.

I do not spam. I only use it to send out a weekly digest of the best crime news in Thailand, along with original reports that I write — about once a week, too.
