Modupe Odele has proceeded on a journey from Nigeria for ‘a long time,’ as she complained about the continuous repression she faces from the Nigerian Immigration.

According to reports, the lawyer was traveling out of Nigeria on New Year’s Eve when the incident allegedly happened at the airport.

Odele took to her Twitter account on Thursday morning to narrate her ordeal with the Nigerian immigration officials.

She wrote;

“You force me to go on exile from my own country for no crime. I can’t visit and go as I please anymore. What a shame. I would have missed my flight if I didn’t make those calls. Because the person to do the secondary clearance wasn’t “on sit”.”

This is coming only weeks after she was prevented from traveling out of the country over her role in the historic #EndSARS campaign to end police brutality in Nigeria.

Ms. Odele, who was amongst lawyers that gave legal representation to #EndSARS protesters during the demonstrations, noted that she had no regrets about the part she played.

She said;
