In a shocking revelation, Seacoach, a renowned luggage transit service provider, has been embroiled in controversy following the discovery of illicit substances on one of their baggage buses.
In a press release issued today, Seacoach’s management has addressed the incident, which has not only raised concerns about the company’s security protocols but has also prompted urgent calls for a thorough investigation.
The incident unfolded on the evening of April 2nd, 2024, as a Seacoach baggage bus was intercepted by law enforcement officials while collecting additional bags from an airport cargo shed for shipment to Aberdeen. The driver and security personnel were apprehended amid suspicions of illegal drug concealment within the luggage on board.
Seacoach representatives initially attempted to facilitate the investigation by proposing that passengers identify their bags at the Lungi Jetty terminal. However, authorities opted to have passengers reclaim their possessions at the station, leading to concerns over unclaimed bags and their contents.
Upon inspection, authorities found tramadol—a controlled substance—in the unclaimed bags.
Seacoach has acknowledged shortcomings in implementing their established policies and procedures, citing the negligence of the Lungi operations manager, who is now cooperating with police to identify the sender and intended recipient of the bags.
The company, supported by legal counsel, is fully cooperating with the investigation and has ensured the manager’s appearance at the police station.
Seacoach has expressed optimism that the responsible parties will be identified and face appropriate legal action.
Amidst the ongoing legal proceedings, Seacoach is urging the public to reserve judgment until all facts are uncovered. The company has reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility and condemned any involvement in drug trafficking or related activities.
In concluding the press release, Seacoach has vowed to uphold the highest standards of service and integrity, pledging to implement rigorous measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
