As we previoulsy reported, a man entering Dubai was detained and subsequently banned from entering the UAE for life after being found to be wearing an unusually large amount of belts which were deemed to be for the purposes of 'black magic.'
Hassan Ibrahim, Senior Inspection Officer with Dubai Customs recounts the tale and says that when the man was asked where he was from, he insisted that he was not born, but he was created in Dubai!
The conversation apparently went thus :-
Duty Officer: “How are you? Where are you from?”
Passenger: “I am from here.”
Duty Officer: (Surprised) “What do you mean, from here?”
Passenger: “From the UAE.”
Duty Officer: “Which part of the UAE are you from?”
Passenger: “I was created in the UAE 3,800 years ago.
The reportedly 'high level black magician' continued to assert his story even though his appearance was said to be African and he held an African passport, although he did speak in classical Arabic throughout the conversation.
Inspectors state that among the possessions of the man were heads and tails of dead snakes, animal bones, the head of a rooster, animal skins, ampoules of blood and lots of paper marked with symbols drawn in saffron and blood. Obviously not a standard chefs stock larder.
The man started out by being a little confrontational and threatened to put a curse on the customs officer if he did not comply with his wishes. The officer, Hassan Ibrahim, a striking fellow who doesn't look like someone you might want to mess around with states that he explained that procedure needed to be followed and he would be processed according to local statute.
The man then had his personal effects confiscated and was subsequently given a lifetime ban from entering UAE in the future.
