It's very sad that bad and corrupted people that worked at MMIA
are showing bad image of themselves in this way.
I am sorry to hear all this! Nigerian general are not like this but
no matter how a country is there are bad people all over everywhere.
I hope u are not a citizen of another country
but if you are, you are not alone.I want u to know its not because that u are
not a national. Its just that corrupted officers like that
are just greedy and hungry for money.
My last visit to the airport as a citizens and resident of another country
I got into argument with many officers there not because they scammed me
but because of their misorderly conduct.
Also a good advise is that if you are travelling there its good to have a
very good contact and trustworty persons to help with stuff especially
if u are u dont speak the language. I have a friend that have traveled to
Nigeria and he is not from there originally! I got him a contact to
help him with stuff eventhough he dont speak the language
He came back and told me he had a very good experience on his trip!
Meanwhile there are anticorruptions probe currently going on in Nigeria.
I will give u some numbers to call incase if you or any loved ones have
this experience again!

Child/Women Abuse! -( 01)- 7617508
If u cant get the EFCC,Try to get the Governor Fashola first and explain your experience. He will listen to u .He is a good governor! who will take action. Just try to note the name of the officer who treated u badly by their name tag incase if u want to identify him.
If I get more help I will update!
