Nollywood screen diva and entrepreneur, Iyabo Ojo has accused the Lagos airport authority of extortion in the course of following COVID-19 guidelines.
In a post on her Instagram post, Ojo recounted how she was made to pay a sum of N51, 950 for a COVID-19 test that was not carried out.
According to the actress, she ran a test at the Turkish Istanbul airport for a sum of N15,000 before she was made to fly and when she arrived at the Lagos airport, the test result was not checked, but they asked her to pay a sum of N51,950 for another one.
She claimed that her money was collected, they checked her temperature and gave her a paper to go to a centre in lekki to do another covid-19 test.
While complaining about Extortion in Lagos, Ojo questioned the authority on reasons the test was not conducted at the airport, like it was done in Turkey.
