“She left the Games Village yesterday (Tuesday). She will be heading back to Nigeria, and she has to leave France,” Nezianya told our correspondent.

“She has been sent out of the Games Village in line with the directive that she should leave. Some certain items have also been recovered from her; a Samsung phone, an accreditation tag, and other things were returned to the IOC.”

Responding to Ogunsemilore’s claims that the test was wrongfully conducted, Nezianya stated, “Those testimonies should have been given to the IOC, and she did not tender it there.
