  "account": "The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has removed a transport company accused of illegally clamping vehicles at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, according to a complaint alleging questionable enforcement practices. The company, identified only as Ogundele, was ordered to leave the airport following the complaint, which was escalated to FAAN's Managing Director, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku. The complaint, made public by an unnamed lawyer, alleged that motorists faced clamping and fines of N25,000 for brief stops at the airport. The alleged practice involved directing motorists to personal accounts and point-of-sale operators for payment, rather than official channels. FAAN distanced itself from the company and the practices, stating that the company lacked a current agreement and had been previously warned about the practices.",
