Na dis kind thing I no dey like! Have you reported this incident to the police or the local DSS office? You know where the hotel booking agency official is located within the airport. There is an Airport Police Command located on that trunk road that links the MMIA Airport to the local airport. Report the case. Follow up with the police. Do your best to ensure the culprits are brought to book. And then update us on the progress made. That is the way to fight crime!

Thanks will do just that

That's an irrelevant conclusion. So if I say....good morning to you, going by your inference....the previous afternoon and evening were bad?
You don't choose a subset in this case, the OP has all the privileges attached to such a luxury. You can only work with what he brings to the table.
"It can never happen to me"....you say, Oga trust me, worse things must have happened to you in the past but your ego won't let you see, accept or share it here.
It can happen to anybody given the conditions our newly love stricken OP found himself.
Bless ya brah....

Thanks for coming to my rescue.

Op, now you understand why even your president doesn't trust his citizens. If you do not go back and file a complaint, then you are part of the problem.
As it is, we can be rest assured that more and more Nigerians are going to be scammed in this same manner and we will continue to fast and wish Nigeria becomes America. Smh

I'm due back to Nigeria today, I will confront them as soon as I touch down.

Travel › How I Was Scammed By A Hotel / Booking Agency At Murtala Mohammed Airport by obidevine(op): 5:19pm On Dec 22, 2016

Hello nairalanders, I'd like you all to read this my epistle on my bad experience with a travel / hotel booking agency in Muritala Mohammed international Airport, Lagos , Nigeria.

I and my wife got a 3 months visitor's visa to South Africa , our visas were granted after we had satisfied all their visa requirements ( with our hotel bookings and statement of account verified) .

On the day we were meant to travel, we got to the departure area of Kenya airways (the airline company we were meant to fly with), the airline attendants asked for a copy of our hotel booking and "yellow card", to my surprise I and my wife forgot the print out of our hotel booking, but luckily we had our yellow cards.

The flight attendant told us that we couldn't go through without our hotel reservation, I told him that we got the visa because the south African Embassy had verified all our documents -hotel reservations included- before granting us the visa , the attendant ( a nigerian) was adamant that without the reservation we couldn't go through, he even told us that even if he let's us pass that when we get to South Africa they would send us back because we didn't have evidence that we had a hotel reservation, I thought to myself " which kain wahala be this sef".

A lady who was standing beside called my wife aside and said she could help us book another hotel accommodation, she directed us to her desk just opposite where the airline attendant was harassing us, we had to cancel our former booking and eventually ended up paying 105,000 naira for 4 nights stay in another hotel, the lady printed out the document and handed it to us, we took it to the attendant and he granted us passage.

When we eventually arrived Johannesburg, South Africa to our surprise they didn't even ask us for the hotel booking, they only checked our yellow cards , warmly welcomed us to their beautiful country and stamped us in , we found our way to the hotel they booked for us, after showing the hotel manager ( who coincidentally is a Nigerian) the booking print out he looked at it and told us that the booking was only done for 1 night, I and my wife didn't look at the print out in Nigeria because we were in a hurry not to miss our flight ( it was when the hotel manager pointed out a couple of things on the printout that we realized to our dismay that the lady in Nigeria booked only one night for us after collecting money and claiming she booked 4 nights) , I and my wife were perplexed, we had to pay for another 4 nights . It's obvious that the Nigerian man working with Kenya airways that checked our documents at Muritala Mohammed airport connived with the hotel booking agency to rip us off.

The reason I'm writing this is to bring to the fore the fact that this travel / hotel booking agency with their desk directly opposite Kenya airways departure section is a big scam ( they didn't even put their name on the receipt because they know they are a scam) the reason why we didn't scrutinize the printout like I said was because we were in a hurry not to miss our flight. I really don't know why we ( Nigerians) like to be so cruel to ourselves. This should serve as a warning to all of us that we should always scrutinize receipts and other documents given to us.

No you don't, relatives presence are not compulsory in a any way.

You seem like an argumentative fellow, I'm telling you that they advised us to come with a blood relative as witness, they hold counseling / oath taking every Tuesday at Ikoyi Registry and it was at the oath taking they gave us this advice. I'm really not here to argue.
