The filmmaker yesterday Kemi Adetiba is the latest celebrity to narrate her ugly experience in the hands of officials at the airport in Lagos The movie director narrated her experience on her Twitter page on Wednesday, November 14, 2018.

Kemi Adetiba’s latest debacle with officials of the airport in Lagos is coming barely a day after the actor, Aremu Afolayan lashed out at the same organisation.  She started out narrating how her  flight from Paris was delayed for almost 6 hours yesterday.  Going further to say, If I thought that was the worst my day could get, I was wrong. I got back into Lagos at about 2am and this is where a series of unfortunate events unfolded… Right there at MY country’s airport.

Going through immigration& picking my luggage was a relative breeze. As I approached customs, I knew all would not be well as I saw a lady’s eyes light up like I was a fowl approaching a den of hyenas. I was still a good distance away when she beckoned for my porter and I to pull Aside.

I had only been gone a week (to give a KEYNOTE speech) and then took out a few days to rest before returning to Nigeria, so I didn’t do any shopping asides a bottle of perfume I had bought for a friend. Mildly irritated, I stepped aside and reached in my bag to get my passport and keys to my suitcase. Read the story here..
