I am gone for a few days, Shelly told her mother Conchita a few weeks ago, with whom she also lives in Zaandam. At first she didn’t look anything behind it, her twenties was often a weekend away.
But this time she soon heard nothing from her. The Zaanse turned out to have traveled to Bangkok. The people she met there had met them through social media – especially Tiktok -.
It concerns two women from London, with Nigerian roots. These persons – whose Abena calls itself – are now back in the United Kingdom, but Shelly remained in Thailand. Striking: the two Nigerian Englishmen have partly protected their social media.
Mother Conchita is desperate. “I have not had any contact with daughter since May 20,” she says De Telegraaf. “I hope I can find my daughter in good health. I am desperate.”
In the meantime, something more is known. Fleeing details show that 21 May, a day after she had contact with her mother, with flight Qr831 from Qatar Airways, from Bangkok to Doha, the capital of the emirate Qatar, flown. The contact stopped there.

A friend of the family fears that she has come in wrong hands. ,, At an earlier moment she said that she had fallen in love with a Nigerian. He would buy an apartment for her. ”
The woman does not turn around: Shelly – himself from Surinamese descent – seems to have been sucked into a drug network, by the new foreign people she got to know. ,, The question is what role the two Nigerian/British women play. The account of one of them shows how she waves money in luxury hotels in Bangkok. ” Shelly, on the other hand, is said to have stayed in the much less luxurious three -star FX Metrolink Makkasan.
Worrying is also a message from a woman who says he knows more about what happened. That could indicate a failed drug transaction: that the smuggling was discovered, or maybe ripped.
The latter is claimed by the woman. “A man has robbed her of the drugs she had to deliver,” says this person. “Now she is Faya because she has to take responsibility.” ‘Faya’ is street language, Surinamese use it to indicate a serious situation.

The person says that she was lured into the trap and is in danger, and that the police must take action quickly before it is too late. Her mother has since reported a report, but because the case is set abroad, the Dutch police cannot do much. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that he was familiar with the case. “We provide the consular assistance family,” he adds.
The role of the possibly involved Nigerian men is also shadowy, including the one who had said to purchase a home for the Zaanse. They call themselves Skywalker and Moncler, and seem to have been in contact with the aforementioned Abena and another Nigerian British.
Abena washes her hands in innocence. “I don’t know where she is,” she says in a message. “We have meet each other and had a click. I stayed somewhere else, and I don’t get any contact with her anymore.”
Research shows that since her disappearance there has been data traffic from her phone. It can also be seen that her account is occasionally online, but there is no response. Her mother thinks others have access to her phone. There was also no response to a request from De Telegraaf.
