NIPOST fails to deliver printer’s package to Republic of Benin, one year after billing N181,000,

The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), according to an ABUJA-based printer named Sola Ogunlola, failed to deliver his shipment to the Benin Republic a year after he allegedly paid the service N181,000 for a waybill.

Ogunlola claimed that early in 2022, he received a request to print some branded nylons for a Mrs. Neo Ale from the Benin Republic.

He received the funding for the project via Western Union.

He was paid for his work and the cost of sending the package to the Benin Republic by mail.

I completed the printing and delivered it to the EMS Post Office Garki Area 10 Abuja to obtain a waybill for the 13th of March 2022 travel to Cotonou, Benin. I paid N181,500 in delivery fees, but the receiver has still not received the nylons.

“The receiver has referred to me, my company, and my nation by a variety of unprintable names and accused me of being a fraudster.

“I don’t want this incident to be overlooked. Ogunlola raged, “Let them refund my money and the nylons if they can’t deliver so the consignment can go another way.
The printer has made fruitless attempts to figure out where the package is.

Ogunlola has had meetings with NIPOST representatives at both the Garki headquarters in Abuja and its Area 10 office.

He claimed that Dickson Ugbomoiko, the director of the Area 10 office, informed him that he was about to retire and that he could not be of much assistance.

He claimed that Ugbomoiko instructed him to get in touch with anyone else he knew at NIPOST who might be able to help him locate the location of the package.

He claimed that even if I went to court, the judge would only compensate me for a portion of the cost of the package I sent, and the case would take a very long time.

The parcel was not stolen or missing, he insisted, but rather it might be at the NIPOST warehouse in Lagos State or stuck in transit to Benin Republic.
They also got in touch with Frank Alao, a spokesman for NIPOST, who pledged to look into the situation.

When this organization contacted Alao again about the matter, she didn’t respond.
