One cannot passed Security at any European Airports with a Coin. Without setting an Alarm off. Not talking about passing through with Two Pistols and Magazines carrying Hundreds of Rounds. On Board Brussels Airline. Which i believe is from Europe..😳
Pictorial evidence should have been helpful to support the credibility of the news
This is unbelievable, I suggest that the government should empower the security sectors for the safety of the country. They should make sure that all security apparatus and necessary equipment are 100% functional.
For the past months now we’ve heard a lot of people getting caught with Pistols, this Country is not safe anymore Government need to take drastic action especially it’s now Election 🗳 May God protect us All 🙏 🤲
