Odele’s passport was seized by NIS on Sunday, November 1, 2020, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, when she was on her way to Maldives, to celebrate her birthday.

Odele, who is a tech and startup lawyer sought clarity on why her passport was being held back and gathered that she was being investigated by an intelligence agency over charges unknown to her.

In a series of tweets on Monday Odele confirmed the release of her passport, saying she was told that she can now travel whenever she wishes.

“Passport now picked up. No issues. I’m told I can travel at any time. Thank you so much everyone for the help and concern,” she tweeted.
