The discovery unfolded during a routine manual search of the passenger’s luggage. Hidden within a plastic box was a live snake, concealed in an attempt to evade detection. However, the vigilance of Customs officers prevailed as they uncovered additional suspicious paraphernalia.

Among the items seized were a monkey’s hand, a deceased bird, eggs wrapped in cotton—purportedly used in sorcery rituals—spells, talismans, and various tools containing scraps of paper.

These objects, believed to possess magical properties and promise good fortune, were destined to be used in acts of witchcraft, according to authorities.

Following the seizure, the confiscated items were promptly transferred to the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai for further inspection.

Officials from the department confirmed the nefarious nature of these objects, highlighting their association with witchcraft and sorcery.

They emphasized that such practices not only deceive individuals but also pose a significant threat to societal security and well-being.

“These practices pose a danger to society,” asserted authorities, “as they manipulate people’s minds and exploit their vulnerabilities.”

The allure of purportedly magical items often leads individuals astray, fostering a belief in superstitions and encouraging reliance on deceptive practices.

The interception at Dubai International Airport serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment of Customs officials to uphold security and safeguard against illicit activities.

Their swift action prevented the proliferation of items associated with witchcraft, mitigating potential risks to society.

In response to the incident, authorities have reiterated the importance of vigilance and cooperation in combating such clandestine practices.

They urge travellers to adhere to regulations and refrain from transporting prohibited items, including those associated with sorcery and witchcraft.

As the investigation unfolds, Dubai Customs remains steadfast in its mission to enforce regulations and maintain the integrity of the nation’s borders.

The interception of the live snake and sorcery items underscores the pivotal role of Customs officials in safeguarding the community from the perils of illicit activities.

The incident is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against superstition and deception, reinforcing the need for collective vigilance and concerted efforts to combat such practices.

Through vigilant enforcement and public awareness initiatives, authorities aim to curb the proliferation of items associated with witchcraft, ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and residents.
