The government of Cameroon is currently trying to use an extradition convention to bring back into the country, one Mohamed Saleem who narrowly eluded security and traveled to Morocco from Cameroon after he was caught attempting to board a plane with a bomb at the Douala International Airport. The Minister of Transport, Robert Nkilli, was at the Douala Airport on May 6 alongside the local Littoral Governor, Joseph Beti Assomo and other high ranking aviation representatives to evaluate the security situation of the airport.

The airport visit was preceded by a crisis meeting which took place at the Air Navigation Security Agency for Africa and Madagascar. At the meeting, the minister was presented with a vivid picture of what transpired at the airport with the uncovered bomb.

It was disclosed that the episode took place on April 29, when Saleem of Sri Lankan origin, was returning to his country through Casablanca, Morocco, by Royal Air Maroc. While his luggage was being scanned through the electronic detector at the airport, two customs officers on duty realized that there was a suspicious device in it.

They immediately called on Saleem to open it. He opened it and pulled out two flash lights. Given that his luggage was being checked a few minutes to take off time, and the expert who could have confirmed whether or not there was any dangerous device in them was reportedly absent from duty, the suspecting customs officers let him aboard the plane.
