I really don't understand some of the points being raised by this issue.

1. Security checks are done before luggages are checked in. I have never had to handle my main luggage again after crossing the security check point till the final destination, and once the luggages are picked from the conveyor belt, there ideally isn't any other security scanner.
Is there a chance there's such a check when someone lands in Saudi?
How do these people get caught at their destinations, if the drugs are in the main luggages?

2. Are the so called airport drug cartel not subject to the normal checks passengers are subjected to when they come to work every morning? How are they able to cross to the luggage loading point with the drugs?

3. I've seen people with sealed luggages, but I didn't take note of where and how they got them sealed. Do they have the sealing machines in every airport?

Investmentfreak:



How can the bag be sealed at home?? What kind of seal?

Built2last:


It's called secure wraps. Usually before you check in your bag, you can do that after security checks

It's in most airports in the world. Most people dont just know

It's in many airports around the world. Once am in Asia, Latin America or Africa. I seal my bags

I am sorry to say this, but the rich gal's family likely got away with framing the luggage handlers.

Comparing the cost of Cocaine vs Tramadol is the first indicator.

The 2nd is ... the Family's influence and speed she was extracted. If you get in trouble even when 100% innocent and expect Nigerian FG to bail out, your bones would be dust before that happens.

The girl's family is so influential that they were able to pressurize the FG into bringing the matter up when discussing a business deal with Saudi.

Saudi of course would be "reasonable" so as not to jeopardize 100s of millions of dollars on the line.

Case in point - Jamal Khasoggi. The US looked the other way. What's his life compared to billions of dollars Saudi gives annually?.


Tramadol vs Cocaine comparison is as stupid as saying someone tried to steal a stainless steel cup when there was diamond or platinum available.

festacman:
Can somebody from NDLEA explain fully how this happened, the intention behind it, and precautions travellers should take. Millions of Naira are voted every year for anti-drug enlightenment. This is the time to utilize the money before someone just die for nothing.

Investmentfreak:


Thanks alot,the point here is getting it past the Nigerian airport ,I doubt if foreign officials will plant foreign materials in ones luggage without getting caught.

Adeniyii2017:


Thank you.. I checked google but didn’t even get it.

Wow... but why would those drug pushers plant Tramadol in a girl's bag? Tramadol of all drugs? It does not make sense at all. Boys and girls use Tramadol here everyday and it wouldn't be a surprise if the beautiful lady mindlessly took some abroad. I just hope no one is being accused wrongly here; that would be unbearable painful.

Seems you know nothing bout drugs so I'd like to educate you. Cocaine is a class A drug alright, but is worth little in south american countries where it is produced. Its a different ball game when it gets to its intended market, price skyrockets 20x if not more. Now Tramadol is not a class A drug, but trust me it's addictive properties are A class. That being said, class A drug or not, someone that's addicted to Tramadol would pay any amount to get his next fix. Though Tramadol price has increased considerably in Nigeria too due to last year's campaign(the amount you'd pay for a sachet or two last year is what you'll pay for a single pill at the moment), it is still widely available. In Saudi, the law is well spelt out, which simply means you'll have to pay through your nose to get it. Now say you succeeded in getting it into the country, you could decide to sell it at any outrageous amount you will. Since a pack of Tramadol containing 10/15 sachets is well less than #10,000 here and easily accessible, You dont have to be a cartel member to try pulling such a stunt at the expense of passengers. Access to passengers' luggage is enough temptation for anyone.

Very poor analysis.

Cocaine is expensive EVERYWHERE in the world. Quote me anywhere. Even if relatively cheap in Colombia. Do you have any idea of how far it is to Saudi ? How long the trip will be and what the final price would be there ?

I have at least 2 doctor friends in Saudi. Tramadol is a controlled substance, but available on doctor's prescription.

Sorry to be blunt, but only a fool would believe its more profitable to traffick Tramadol instead of Cocaine.

So from the long jumble you wrote up there, you feel Cocaine isn't expensive in Saudi ? ?

WTF? Are you high?

Reason people seal their bags after checking at the airport.

Once I pass clearance at the airport. I place my bag at the sealing machine and seal it. I can't shout.

Imagine landing and they open your bags and it's full of drugs. You will look for stammer but wont find.

Seal your bag once checked at the airport in Naija. Abroad, no one opens your bag except the scan picks up something strange.

If you know nothing strange in your bag and kg is okay. Seal the bag from home.

AdolfHitlerxXx:


It was claimed she had only one bag. Right?

So question is this :

If i have a single black bag, why would i be checking for another bag on the conveyor belt that says "Adolf Hitler "?

Besides you didn't answer to the first indicator. Why on earth will one be so stupid to risk one's career, freedom and possibly life for profit from Tramadol?

Benz4pimp:
tram in Saudi is big money,the fact that it is sold anywhere in nigeria doesn’t mean same everywhere in the world

LastSurvivor11:
If only FG could extend this goodwill to other ethnic groups in Nigeria

Boyslick:

Learn how to comprehend nigga.
Tramadol isn't available even on prescription in Saudi.
Back to the matter, you just helped me buttress my point which is to y'all saying they'd rather traffic cocaine than Tramadol. Cocaine is expensive as fvck here, you'd have to be a big player to try trafficking that shiit and you wouldn't even use a method as dumb as that. The said drugs were planted in the girls bags by a group of retardds tryna hit big, and they were VERY naive about it. If the girl were a drug addict as is being implied, she'd forfeit hajj altogether knowing she can't get her medication over there

rex444:
And all those so called cartel members could do besides planting drugs worth millions of naira was to plant tramadol in a girl bag , a girl who comes from where all sorts of drugs were taken by teenagers to get high....hmmmmmmm don't let others pay for your crime tho

Godmother:
This is scary. The official had full access to the bag even though it was padlocked. May God protect us all.

Tram vs Coke. Price comparison. Worldwide. There's your answer

iamjavadem:
Mumu, do u know how much tramadol is sold in other countries?

saintneo:


What is difficult in opening and re-sealing bags?


To be candid, I don't even bother using padlocks on my bag.


The only time, I sealed a box was when I had company properties in them

AdolfHitlerxXx:


I need an elementary lesson in comprehension.

Your last sentence explains it. Knowing she cant get her medication there. She took it along.

Where did you see that Tramadol is available in Saudi even on prescription? How then is there a market for something that has never been seen ?

Lol. Very little sense in my post. WOW.

Benz4pimp:
most of you don’t even understand what really happened,this has nothing to do with Tram or coke!!The drug is not planted in your original luggage,another luggage is registered in your name by the cartel and that is were you have the drugs!!!once the luggage is lucky to bypass immigration in Saudi,there are people ready to pick it up!!!Hope you understand now?what Nigerian immigration has to do was check the time luggage was registered and if there is a security cam,check and pick up whoever did it!!!
