A close source among the governor’s entourage who pleaded anonymity to the press revealed that Chief Willie Obiano had a rough encounter with the airport authorities which led to an escalated argument that culminated in the USA authorities denying him access to board the Nigerian bound flight.

Chief Willie Obiano may continue his journey back to Nigeria by tomorrow as diplomatic processes have been involved to resolve the cause of the flight boarding denial.
