Because of her inability to make the journey to the UK as planned, she had to pay an additional $200, which is about N153,000, to the airline. She said the money was a "no-show" fee. That way, they did not lose the money they had earlier paid.
The airline was kind enough to upgrade her ticket to a business class as against the economy she had paid for.
A video showed her mother-in-law rolling on the floor to thank God after she arrived in the UK.
Olubukola captioned the video:
"We nearly lost $2450 on flight ticket. Don't make this mistake."
