A former Minister of Education and one of the coordinators of the BringBackOurGirls campaign, Dr Oby Ezekwesili almost missed her flight to London earlier today, where she was scheduled to appear on a BBC Hard Talk programme.

Ezekwesili, whose passport was later released by the SSS operatives, tweeted her encounter via her handle @obyezeks:
