You’ve no business searching passengers’ bags at airports, Keyamo tells DSS
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said the Department of State Services, DSS, should not search passengers’ bags at airports.
Keyamo, who stated this in an interview on ‘This Morning’ programme on Arise News yesterday, said: “We’ll sit down, but we needed to take this step. DSS, you are not, you have no business searching people’s bags.
“You are profiling individuals who are going out of the country, people who have been, maybe who are under security checks and all that.”

Speaking about the queues at airports caused by multiple agency checks, he said customs officials should only focus on items imported into the country, not items exported.
“All these agencies at our airports are not directly under our control; you have multiple agencies, DSS, NDLA, Customs, and Quarantine,” he said.
“And these were in place before we came into office, and they were not directly under my control for us to begin to remove them from the airport.” Recall that on December 5, the federal government approved measures.”
