The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has uncovered a criminal syndicate involving officials of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, who allegedly planted illicit drugs in the luggage of unsuspecting Nigerian pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, saying the syndicate’s activities led to the arrest and detention of three innocent Nigerians in Jeddah after performing the lesser hajj.
