Iyabo Ojo accuses airport officials of extorting money for COVID-19 test

September 28,2020
Share:

Actress Iyabo Ojo has accused Nigerian airports of extorting N51, 950 from her for a COVID-19 test which they never did.

The officials allegedly rejected a similar test result which was conducted barely 24 hours before she boarded her from Turkey, insisting she must carry out another one here in Nigeria.

Narrating her ordeal, the actress and businesswoman in an Instagram post on Monday, said she was then made to pay another N51, 950 for another COVID-19 test.

Iyabo added that after collecting  the money, the officials checked her temperature and then gave her a paper to go to a centre in Lekki to do the test. She wondered why they couldn’t carry out the test immediately at the airport like turkey did with the result being released 6hrs later, in the same airport.

This is extortion, she cried.

Here is her post: “Hello Nigeria 🇳🇬

“I was really very upset @ the Nigerian airport this morning, I did a covid-19 test yesterday morning @ the Turkish Istanbul airport before i was allowed to fly, i had to even change my ticket bcos I needed to wait to collect my result, ok cool!!! So now I don do test, I’m covid-19 free 💃💃💃💃💃 free to fly abi?

“I flew in this morning less than 24hrs with my negative text result of covid-19, they didn’t even check it @ the Lagos airport 🤷‍♀️with all the stress I had to allowed to fly, I had to even change my ticket bcos I needed to wait to collect my result, ok cool!!! So now I don do test, I’m covid-19 free 💃💃💃💃💃 free to fly abi?

“I flew in this morning less than 24hrs with my negative text result of covid-19, they didn’t even check it @ the Lagos airport 🤷‍♀️with all the stress I had to go through to do it in Turkey 😳😣
