Shehu Sani, lawmaker representing Kaduna Central at the Senate has advised travellers on what to do in order to prevent undue harassment and detention over what they know nothing about.

Mr Sani gave the advise days after Zainab Aliyu, a student at Maitama Sule University, Kano, was released by authorities in Saudi Arabia.

Banned substances in that country were found in the luggage of Ms Aliyu when she travelled for Lesser Hajj late last year.

The student who denied knowledge of the substance found in her possession was detained by the Arabian authorities. Those adjudged to be guilty are executed.

It was later discovered that the luggage of the student might have been trespassed by airport cartel who are fond of planting drugs in innocent travellers’ luggage thereby implicating them.

A recent one was busted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

It took the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari before she was released to Nigerian authorities.

Advising travellers on how to avoid such scenario, the Kaduna lawmaker urged travellers to always make use of their mobile devices by video tapping their belongings at the Airport Counter while checking in or out of the country.

“Travel advisory;When traveling in or out of the country,use your phone to video tape the actual luggages you are checking in at the Airport Counter,to protect yourself from those in the Business of set up.A stitch in time saves nine,” Mr Sani said in a Facebook post on Thursday.

So many Nigerians are held in Saudi Arabia for various drug related offenses. Some might likely be innocent of what they are accused of.

if you force a pence through a zipped bag it will open, all you need to do is to hold the 2 zip and pull it over the opened area and the bag will zip again as if no one touched it.

experience .

are the video admissible as evidence or defense when shit hits the fan . An accused is always manhandled and bullied in Naija their home country let alone abroad were nobody is there to defend you or seek leniency on your behalf.

A quick solution : do not use the type of bag or luggage that require padlock. use the type that uses number code and the lock are fixed to a spot. that way you will immediately know that someone has tampered with your bag the moment you sight it and that should be when you will raise the alarm at the airport that you have either been robbed or set up .

The questions noone is answering is HOW WAS THE CARTEL PLANNING TO RETRIEVE THOSE DRUGS FROM ZAINAB
For me oo; there is no cartel. The government just used that as a scheme to save a Nigerian drug trader. Fear North, especially under APC. Lies are their second name. Saudi Arabia should take note.
