Dar es Salaam. Hundreds of passengers, bus conductors and transport workers risk becoming entangled in drug trafficking networks simply by agreeing to carry parcels for strangers, authorities have warned, prompting the launch of a nationwide film campaign aimed at curbing the growing trend.
The initiative follows a rise in cases involving unsuspecting members of the public who have found themselves facing arrest and prosecution after unknowingly transporting luggage and packages containing narcotic drugs.
Dubbed 'Safe Transport Without Drugs', the campaign will use films screened on buses across the country to educate passengers, drivers, conductors and cargo handlers on the dangers of carrying packages whose contents they do not know.
