It was on Sunday, Jun 12 i got to the airport car park @ 11:30am to pick a brother who was coming in through

Emirate Airline. After almost 2 hours of waiting i was able to get a call through, confirming he was around though

still waiting to disembark from the plane as there was no ladder.


At about 1:48pm he called that he is out, I assumed he was through and already at the gate having waited for so

long. I came out of the park and made it straight to arrival drive way while trying to get him on the phone so as to

know the exact point to pick him up. Alas, he has merely disembark and just about going to pick his luggage.

By 2: 25pm, he was almost ready because i was constantly calling to have update where i went to pack far from the

airport road since my brother was almost out rather than going back to the car park and paying another flat rate of

N500.00. He soon called that he was coming out.


Driving along the road to MMIA slowly, i stopped to pick a call, suddenly a Towing Vehicle swoop on me, one of the

men attached to it put their iron rod into my tyre rim to checkmate any attempt to drive off. They demanded for my

key that i was packing on the road but i told them i was receiving a call, the engine running; my reason fell on deaf

hears. So my car was driving by one of them to their office just along Aviation Training School, at the other side of

the airport

Every entreaties failed, my car was chained once in their office and I was billed N10,500.00 for not packing in the

car park. Nobody to talk to or explain anything to. Many people who were new in Lagos, or not conversant with the

road were arrested forcefully like that too and made to part with N10,500.00 or N15,500.00 if you struggle with

them and they use their towing van. A case of a guy, I met in their office was so pathetic, he said parked to just wee

when he was arrested and his car forcefully brought to there.


By 2:40pm i had received more than 15 missed calls from my brother who i came to pick. He sent a text that he was

getting fed up, no ladder to come down from plane, heat in the luggage hall and now 'am not in sight. I was forced

to cough out that N10,500.00 before i could drive away from their office. I was given a funny receipt pictured below

with a having a funny name in collaboration with FAAN.


This got me thinking, who are this touts? Who are the FAAN given backup to this retrogressive decree? Is there

no civil way that can be employed? Why must it by money & N10k for that matter? Why can't they have a stationery

vehicle there on the road to warn people?


This is a call to EFCC/DSS and other responsible authorities to look into the activities of these people, it is illegal,

this is part of corruption we are talking about, these people are scammers. People are suffering, things are hard, why must these set of people be

adding to our sufferings. The money forcefully collected was meant to buy things for my family. We cant continue like

this.

Nigerians!Nigerians!!Nigerians!!! Hmmmmm......these r dsame people who will see d corrupt leaders and keep shouting Baba Tuale!!! what a country. But one thing is for sure nemesis will caught up to dem some day.

Very sad. And these are the set of people the government should be battling its curruption fights with, not just the political elites alone.

Fraud at its peak. They even have reciepts they issue out. Smh
