Attention all airplane travellers! Please take a moment to read this crucial message. It is essential for people traveling abroad by flights to be aware of a potential threat. Always remember to photograph your luggage before departure to establish proof of ownership and protect yourself from dangerous schemes.
Here's a recent incident that highlights the importance of this practice:
1) A traveller flew from Germany to Nigeria using Turkish Air.
2) Upon arrival in Nigeria, one of their bags, clearly labelled with their name, went missing. They lodged a complaint and were instructed to return home while airport officials searched for the bag.
3) Late at night, they received a call notifying them that the bag had been found and could be picked up immediately. However, they chose to delay the retrieval and instead visited NAHCO (a location) the next afternoon.
4) Upon reaching NAHCO, they found themselves surrounded by zealous Nigerian security personnel, including DSS and NDLEA. The bag they were shown had their name tag attached, but it did not belong to them. Someone had replaced the original tag from their missing bag and affixed it to another bag, potentially containing illicit substances.
5) The traveller insisted that the bag was not theirs and presented the officials with photographs of their luggage, which they had taken prior to arriving in Nigeria.
6) Despite the photographic evidence, they underwent intense scrutiny before being released. If they hadn't possessed those photos, they shudder to think what might have befallen them.
7) Later that afternoon, the traveller caused a scene at the Turkish Airlines office, threatening to use their connections to bring trouble to the airline. Consequently, Turkish Airlines offered them substantial compensation.
😎 In light of this experience, the traveller strongly advises all fellow travellers to consistently capture images of their luggage as a precautionary measure.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: PHOTOGRAPH YOUR TRAVELING BAGS BEFORE DEPARTURE!
If you have relatives planning to visit another country, kindly inform them about the significance of taking clear and comprehensive pictures of their bags before leaving their departure location. These photographs should include all their bags and must be saved on their phones. We have received reports indicating that certain airport agents in various countries are tampering with baggage tags, removing them from bags containing illegal drugs, and attaching them to innocent travellers' bags. This devious tactic enables their agents to smuggle drugs into targeted countries. Consequently, innocent individuals find themselves unknowingly carrying illicit substances, leading to accusations, arrests, and dire consequences. Tragically, some victims have even been targeted and harmed by these agents seeking to retrieve their bags.
Numerous individuals from countries like America and the UK are currently imprisoned abroad due to being wrongfully implicated in drug trafficking cases at airports.
