Veteran journalist Dele Momodu recounted his near-detention at Heathrow Airport due to 18 mobile phones found in his bag. During a discussion on social media, Momodu revealed that he currently carries six phones, some with dual SIMs, and others in reserve. While traveling to South Africa with a senator, airport officials questioned him about the number of phones he had.
When told they were old devices, Momodu insisted they were 18 phones and presented an iPad, showing images of Queen Elizabeth II and former US President Bill Clinton to prove his professional standing. Despite the officials' inquiries, Momodu remained calm, displaying his Queen image to emphasize his identity as a journalist. The matter was eventually referred to Customs, who subjected him to another round of questioning.
