DUBAI: Dubai Customs has halted 155 attempts of smuggling black magic goods, about 10,000 articles, weighing 97 kilograms, associated with practice of witchcraft and sorcery, at Dubai International Airport.
The passengers from different nationalities caught trying to smuggle them into the country through Dubai International Airport.
Talking about witchcraft confiscations made by Dubai Customs, Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director of Dubai Customs, said: “Practising sorcery and witchcraft is a bad habit threatening the security of the society by manipulating people’s minds and taking advantage of their needs to deceive them.”
He said that DC provides all kinds of training and awareness courses for its staff to be able to recognise these materials, their different types and shapes. “Smugglers often invent new methods trying to hoodwink customs officials. Upon arrival to the Customs zone in the airport, passenger’s baggage is inspected and screened using X-ray scanning devices. Both large luggage and handbags are then physically inspected by trained inspectors to make sure they contain no illicit imports.”
Musabih reaffirmed Dubai Customs keenness on thwarting all attempts at illegally importing sorcery items, as con artists often use black magic to supposedly help release people from their problems but then exploit their superstitions and ignorance to defraud their victims of large sums of money.
