In her tweet, she said that she had a very bad experience with the airline and with an official simply known as Ann at the Murtala Mohammed Airport Terminal 2 in Lagos.

She said the airline refused to allow her son to board the flight, saying he is too young to travel when he was not going alone

“He was accompanied by an adult (family relative) with all the necessary documents (international passport, Emirates Identity card and a letter of authorisation) including the parents’ copy of international passports and an Emirates ID. Why would she deny him without any good reason? She was adamant, the angry mother said.
