Former Big Brother Naija housemate Erica Nlewedim has found herself at the centre of a dramatic scene at the Lagos airport after British Airways allegedly downgraded her ticket.

Late on Monday, Erica took to Instagram Live to share her ordeal, claiming that an airport official had downgraded her ticket from business class to economy without explanation.

“I paid for business class, you are trying to downgrade me to economy and I did not come late,” Erica stated during the live stream.

The reality TV star said that initially she tried to handle the situation privately.

However, tensions escalated when an official named Stanley called a uniformed officer on her. She said this prompted her to start recording the incident.

“I was not recording before. I was on my own, I was not recording. You called a uniform person on me telling me I was recording, okay now I’m going to record.

“Whatever you people want to do, even if you people want to shoot me, but at least everybody is seeing what you are doing,” she declared.

The scene quickly drew attention, with Erica asserting that the airport staff hadn’t seen her angry in four years and that she was bringing it out.

Erica boasted about her wealth while making demands for the service she paid for.

Her actions have stirred mixed reactions.

Some users expressed sympathy for Erica while others criticised her for what they perceived as a tantrum.
