- Reportedly thanks to a tipoff from Chinese authorities, Cambodian and Vietnamese authorities confiscated 14kg, 468.50 grams of methamphetamine tablets on June 10, 2016 at the border of Thmor Khum between Cambodia and Vietnam. The drugs originated from China and were being sent to Cambodia via Vietnam.

This meant the Cambodian authorities were waiting to arrest 42 year old Nigerian man, GABRIEL IHEONU, when he came to pick up the package containing the drugs at the border crossing.
The accused said he was innocent, but when police later searched his room they found a large amount of drugs, scales, and plastic bags, so they knew he was a drug dealer.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment and fined 80M riel in Phnom Phenh courthouse for drug possession and trafficking on the morning of 10 October 2017.
