That's a lot of guys to get caught up in one swoop. I lived near a building used as a church in 2009 and they did a raid and caught a similar amount, but that might be the biggest raid I've heard of since. I'd guess some do have documentation and will be released once they can show it?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

What could 29 Nigerians be doing in a dirt poor country like Cambodia? Hmmm?

I'm not sure what 29 would be doing, but I can assure you that there are many perfectly decent Nigerians living here and doing legitimate business.
I should have mentioned that the guys I referred to earlier weren't all Nigerian, they were from Ghana, Sierra Leone and other west African countries.
As an aside, the raid resulted in a Vietnamese woman (who was doing watch-out for a totally unrelated nearby card-game)freaking out, jumping off a balcony and falling through my roof, and then getting arrested after bleeding all over my kitchen (and fucking dinner).

Nigerians Arrested in Capital Face Deportation
by Buth Kimsay | March 16, 2017
Immigration police on Wednesday detained 26 Nigerians living in two rented houses in Phnom Penh on suspicion of being in the country illegally, officials said.
The men were arrested in Pur Senchey district’s Choam Chao commune after local residents, believing the foreigners did not have proper documents, reported them to the Interior Ministry’s immigration department, said Uk Heisela, the department’s chief of investigations.
“We arrested people from Nigeria, but we still don’t know how many are legal and how many are illegal,” he said.
However, Sao Sarith, acting commune police chief, said none of the men had proper papers.
The men, some of whom had worked as football coaches or teachers, were detained at the immigration department and held for questioning, Major General Heisela said, adding they would be deported if they were in Cambodia illegally.

Nigerians in Cambodia - it's tough to remove stereotypes.
Like the other community leaders Post Weekend spoke to, Lahben doesn’t deny that some in the Nigerian community are lawbreakers. They simply don’t want the actions of the few to be seen as representative of the many.

Certainly the funniest thing I've read this day. The part about the look out falling through the roof.

Was it the rainy season?

Looks like this is a yearly event.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
