Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: a 46-year-old Nigerian citizen, IROEGBU UCHE ANDREW, was kidnapped and tortured by a Cambodian woman and other 4 Nigerian men in Borey Moha Sen Sok, Khan Sen Sok, and after escaping, he was arrested for disturbing the peace with no passport.

On August 18, after the victim who was injured ran to escape from the house in Borey Moha Sen Sok, the police arrested a 23-year-old Cambodian woman, Sonita, who works in a bar. The suspect confessed that she and 4 Nigerian men, who already ran to escape, kidnapped and tortured the victim.

The police said, on August 11, 2018, at 6 pm, the female Cambodian suspect contacted the victim as the plan of her Nigerian boyfriend had made. She called the victim and told him to come to visit her home at the scene. The victim took the tuk-tuk to her place. When the victim arrived, 4 Nigerian men detained him and told him to give them for $5,000, or at least $ 3,000 USD.

The victim didn't have money for them, so they took a hot iron to put on the victim's left cheek, left shoulder caused him had the injury. Until August 18, while the 4 Nigerian suspects went out to buy some food, the Cambodian woman was taking a nap, so the victim ran out of the house asking for help.

After that, the security man helped the victim and reported to the police. The police arrested a Cambodian woman, but the 4 Nigerian suspects ran away.

The next day, the Nigerian man who was kidnapped was arrested for disturbing the peace and fighting, and without a passport.

Cops searching for six over kidnapping, torture
21 August 2018
Police on Sunday arrested a Cambodian woman and are searching for her six Nigerian accomplices in connection with the kidnapping and torture of a Nigerian man in the capital’s Sen Sok district.

District police chief Hour Mengvang said Iroegbu Vche Andrew, 46, sustained injuries to his back and cheek after he was confined and tortured with an iron on Saturday.

The victim managed to escape while two of the suspects were smoking and left him unattended at the house. “The Cambodian woman was the victim’s girlfriend."

Damn. The Nigerian crims are getting desperate (both for money and in choice of female companionship it seems). That is some brutal, Quentin Tarantino-type stuff.

I knew a bloke who was tortured with an iron by the gang and then tossed out a 4th story window. He died a few days later, this was in Sydney. A little misunderstanding about two kilos of coke. The gang wanted the coke but the real problem was that had agreed to share some with the police and the coke had disappeared.

Sure I read in the post that now they have been blown out the water by the Chinese for crime
Police arrested 378 people from 25 nationalities, with the Chinese outnumbering others at 257. This was followed by Nigerians at 37, Vietnamese (14), Thais (12) and South Koreans, eight. Most of the crimes were committed in the capital.

thats gotta hurt, they've a lot of ground to make up to reclaim that top spot, getting arrested in groups of 6-10 will help :stir:
