3,800 Year Old Black Magician Apprehended By Dubai Customs

Further information has come to light via www.emirates247.com regarding a black magician who was apprehended by customs officers at Dubai international airport.

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.

Black Magic Bulletin


Today's round up of deluded dupes takes us first to Malaysia, where a man held his wife, mother and three daughters captive for over seven hours after accusing the two adult females of using black magic on him according to thestar.com.my. The police were alerted by neighbors after they heard cries from women in the house and they were unable to get a reply when knocking at the door.


The lead police negotiator told reporters that he tried to 'use religion to pacify the man to lay down his weapon and surrender but that didn't work.'

He also added that he 'noticed during the negotiation, the man was mumbling weird chants and knew this was a non-negotiable case.'

The siege was satisfactorily concluded, although all of the hostages sustained minor injuries, according to the report.


A bizarre tale which perhaps has lost something in translation reaches us via gulf-times.com. The report recounts a tale of a Pakistani man who has been sentenced to death for murder by a court in Doha.

The man apparently used to 'accompany' his victim on car journeys to 'various places.'  According to the article, the victim decided to 'break up' with his traveling companion and future murderer at which point the accused traveled back to his home country where he used 'black magic' in order to get their friendship 'back on track.'

The report goes on to say that ' This never worked out, so he started a fight with [the] victim when he came back to Doha and killed him.'

 Hmmm......

Meanwhile, at Dubai airport, emirates247.com tell us that a man has been detained for suspected sorcery, although the report does not elaborate on his fate.  The man was detained on suspicion of witchcraft after arriving from Africa whilst wearing twenty belts around his waist.  The belts made from, amongst other things,  animal skin, animal bones and papers with symbols written on them, also had 'improved buckles' and locks meaning that they were for permanent wear.

Further examination of the travelers luggage also revealed he was carrying 'candles, a couple of belts, dead scorpions, a rope made of braided human hair and drawings with unusual symbols.'

Hassan Ibrahim, Senior Inspections Officer at Dubai Customs told reporters 'These practices are completely illegal in our country, against our regulations, and these sorcerers are dangerous to our society and a threat to the safety of the UAE.'
