How Queen Elizabeth, Bill Clinton saved me from Special Forces arrest at Heathrow Airport – Dele Momodu

Veteran journalist Dele Momodu disclosed on viral video how he narrowly escaped arrest by Special Forces at Heathrow Airport in London. The chieftain of the African Democratic Congress revealed that he was detained due to having 18 old phones in his bag. Security personnel stopped Momodu as he was heading to South Africa and placed the phones in a tray, asking him about his profession.

When he told them he was a journalist, they demanded proof, at which point he pulled out an iPad. Knowing how to name-drop, Momodu dialed the numbers of Queen Elizabeth II and former US President Bill Clinton. The journalists explained that the queen is the head of Customs in the UK, which ultimately led to their release just moments before they missed their flight.
