A Nigerian businessman, Uzochukwu Jerome Ezeneche, who is  in Thailand prison has cried  to the Nigeria  Government to wade into the matter.

Ezeneche and his wife were thrown into the prison on the  allegation  of using his money  exchange  bussiness to aid  freighting  of illegal proceed of crime and fraud from Thailand  to Nigeria.  According  to his younger brother, Ebuka Ezeneche,  trouble started for his elder brother  sometimes  in 2021, when Thailand  police raided his office, and confiscated phones and computers, and also frozen his account .  Ezeneche, through  his lawyer in Thailand and Nigeria, had fought  for justice until he was released on bail, but without  some of his valuables released to and his account still frozen.   Ebuka said his brother petitioned the Thailand  Authority and demanded  restoration of his account and return of valuables.

According to Ebuka, his action to recover his properties, including money,  did not go down well with  the Thailand authority as they allegedly  began to scheme  ways to rope his  brother into criminal charges  so that they could keep his  money  and other valuables to themselves.

According to Ebuka, since 2021, when the Thailand police raided his brothers  office, he has been in and out  of court in his efforts  to prove his innocence , but to no avail until the Thai police again raided his  home in August  and arrested him and his Thai wife. “My brother’s offence was that he is fighting  for the unfrozen of his account  and return of some of his valuables seized  in 2021. I want the whole world to know that my brother has a license  to operate Bureau de change. He has office duly registered with the Thai Authority and not a scammer as being wrongly reported in the Thai media.  His only offence was that  he attempted to recover his money wrongly seized.

“I hereby,  call on Nigeria embassy in Thailand, the federal  government  and the Nigeria Diaspora Commission  to step in and ensure that justice  is done and that my brother and wife are released from the prison. “
