Actress Iyabo Ojo has accused officials of an international airport in Nigeria of extorting N51,950 from her for a COVID-19 test which was never carried out.
The mother of two made the allegation after she returned to the country from Turkey on Monday morning, September 28.
She said before returning to Nigeria, she underwent a COVID-19 test which came out negative in Turkey.
Ojo stated that she flew into Nigeria barely 24 hours later and presented the result to airport officials in Nigeria but it allegedly rejected.
She alleged that the officials insisted she must carry out another one in the country before she is cleared,
The actress revealed that she was made to pay N51,950 but no COVID-19 test was carried out on her.
Narrating her ordeal on Instagram, Iyabo Ojo wrote;
