This incident took place while Zainab travelled with her family for Lesser Hajj from Kano state, while no member of her family was held, the young lady was jailed for months for being in possession of a bag containing illicit drugs.
According to authorities of Saudi Arabia, the bag which contained the drugs that led to Zainab's arrest had a tag with her name on it.
However, after several investigations by the NDLEA and airport authorities in Kano state, as well as intervention from the government through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Zainab was exonerated.
Investigations by the team in Nigeria showed that Zainab was framed by a drug cartel at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.
Reports of the investigations by the authorities in Kano also showed that the cartel specializes in the planting of illicit drugs on innocent travellers without their knowledge.
