Nollywood actress Bolaji Ogunmola has accused United Nigeria Airlines of repeated flight cancellations and delays that allegedly left her stranded in Ekiti State and disrupted her work schedule.
Ogunmola said she travelled to Ekiti for a job and was scheduled to return to Lagos on Wednesday, but her flight was cancelled after hours of waiting at the airport, with no clear alternative offered.
She added that a rescheduled flight the following day was repeatedly delayed without prior notice, forcing her to incur extra costs on accommodation and logistics. The actress said flight times were shifted several times, leaving her unable to meet her filming obligations in Lagos.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, Ogunmola criticised the airline for poor communication and lack of empathy, noting that her production crew was already on set awaiting her arrival.
She confirmed that her lawyer would take up the matter, insisting the delays affected her livelihood. The incident comes barely a month after commercial flight operations began in Ekiti State.

The Lagos State Government has dismissed reports of a political rift between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Ogun State counterpart, Governor Dapo Abiodun, describing them as false and misleading.
In a statement on Thursday, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, said claims of discord between the two governors were entirely baseless.
Akosile stressed that Sanwo-Olu and Abiodun maintain a cordial and brotherly relationship, adding that both leaders are in constant communication and regularly consult on issues affecting their neighbouring states.
He noted that their cooperation is strengthened by shared boundaries and deep socio-cultural ties, which require close collaboration on regional development.
The Lagos State Government also warned against the spread of fake news, reaffirming that both governors remain committed to a common vision for progress and development in their states.
