Medina said that these people were victims of scammers. The said dupers sold them falsified tickets at very low prices after they were informed that their passes were not encoded in their system.
One of the passengers even said that she didn’t know that they were carrying fake passes since it was also handed to her by a certain woman named “Jennifer”.
They were all instructed to wear T-shirts bearing the name of a certain herbal product and instructed to take it off after they were cleared by the BI. It was done to make it seem like they were on an official company trip abroad.
