Odinaka said she had travelled to Nigeria with her expired international passport before, and nothing happened.
However, she said she was not informed that she could not travel to Nigeria twice with an expired Nigerian passport.
Despite saying her intention was to renew it while in Nigeria, she said the immigration officer refused.
Luckily for her, she saw another man who was having the same problem and the man intervened on her behalf after he too was allowed into Nigeria.
That was how she was able to enter Nigeria and attend the wedding.
She said:
"A warning would’ve been fine, but these guys were ready to send me back."
