Iyabo Ojo accuses airport officials of extorting N 51, 950 from her for a COVID-19 test which they never did

Actress Iyabo Ojo took to her Instagram page this morning to accuse officials working in one of the Nigerian airports of extorting N51, 950 from her for a COVID-19 test which they never did.

The mum of two returned to the country from Turkey on Monday morning, September 28. She said before embarking on her flight to Nigeria, she underwent a COVID-19 test which came out negative. She flew into Nigeria barely 24 hours later and presented the result to airport officials in Nigeria who allegedly refused to accept it, insisting she must carry out another one here in Nigeria.

Iyabo Ojo said she was made to pay N51,950 and still no test was carried out on her.
