Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nigeria Aviation Minister Festus Caamo says the Ministry has directed
for the aviation staff who released the video footage containing
the aspect of an Ibom Airlines passenger Comfort Emanson or
Bob scene in an indecent appearance with her chest sexual
organs exposed after the passenger shirt was torn by an
Ibom Airline staff while security operatives were seen in the
(00:24):
viral video dragging the aggrieved passenger out of the aircraft
following an act of confrontation between the passenger and Ibom
Airlines hostesses which one of the hostesses blocked the right
of way of the passenger and prevented the passenger from
disembarking from the plane and after countless warning to the
airline passenger to leave the road, the passenger went physical
(00:45):
with the hostess by allegedly slapping her on the face,
which the confrontation with the hostess apparently led to the
alleged destruction of the plane divider cotton, which Hibom Airlines
valued at two thousand, five hundred dollars as stated in
count five of the five account charges the police filed
against the passenger at a Keja magistrate caught in Lagos State.
(01:06):
The Aviation Minister Festus Kamo, who described the behavior of
the passenger as unruly, said, although the airline staff is
right to video record the event of the passenger's behavior
for the purpose of legal action, but it is totally
unacceptable for the staff to release part of the video
that exposed the passenger's nakedness, especially her breasts. Details of
(01:28):
the minister's statement reads verbatim below. Enough is enough reading
the Riot Act on Aviation Safety and Security in reference
to the case of unruly Comfort Bob on Ibom Airline
and related incidents. Earlier today, we again woke up to
viral videos of a female passenger on Ibom Airline, now
identified as Comfort Emanson or Comfort Bob, who went berserk
(01:51):
and physically assaulted both the flight crew and the ground staff.
The incident took place yesterday, August tenth, twenty twenty five,
on Himbo Bom Airline flight number Q one hundred and
fifty three from Uyo to Lagos at about fourteen fifty
four hours. Ibom Airline has since issued a statement to
provide some context to the effect that the whole unfortunate
(02:13):
incident arose because of the refusal of the passenger to
switch off her phone during take off as required by
extant international civil aviation regulations. Consequently, in the last few hours,
I have been speaking with the Commissioner of Police of
the Airport Police Command, the DG of the NC double
A and his team, the end of Fan and her team,
(02:35):
the COO of Ibom Air and his team about the incident.
Apart from the indefinite flight ban imposed on the said
unruly passenger both local and international by the Nigeria Civil
Aviation Authority NC double A, the police has promptly arranged
her this morning at the Akeja Magistrates caught for criminal
offenses and remanded her at Kirikiri Prisons that she could
(02:58):
not provide adequate suurreoce in court. I have attached the
charge sheet and remand order for clarity. We also note
the scuffle that took place between the unruly passenger and
ground personnel before she was eventually subdued. This was because
of her uncooperative attitude. Whilst we support the filming of
her recalcitrant behavior as evidence to prosecute her, what is
(03:21):
deplorable is to release such evidence containing indecent exposure to
the public to ridicule her that is totally unacceptable to us.
We will not fold our arms and tolerate the debasing
of womanhood. I have therefore directed that whoever released that
part of the video containing the indecent exposure amongst the
staff should be singled out and adequately sanctioned. I have
(03:44):
also directed that the airlines must continue to train and
retrain their staff in public relations and how to deal
with potentially explosive situations in order to diffuse them promptly
or knit them in the bud except when it becomes inevitable.
I've also directed a joint security meeting between relevant agencies
next week for better coordination of security measures in situations
(04:08):
like this or similar ones we witnessed recently. For genuinely
aggrieved passengers, there are clearly laid down remedies to address grievances.
The Consumer Protection Directorate of the nc double A has
consistently advertised these remedies, and there is no point trying
to take the laws into one's hands that may lead
to dire consequences. We will continue to apply equal sanctions
(04:32):
available to us in aviation on any such airing passengers
that is lengthy flight bands and report the matters to
other law enforcement agencies to do their bit within their powers.
We have reported that a careful study of the viral
video involving the Imom Airline personnel, legos, airport security operatives
and an aggrieved passenger Comfort Emanson on board the airline
(04:54):
plane on Sunday, indicated that while the enraged passenger was
being dragged off the plane by three men who held
her two hands and legs, suspending her a little bit
on the air, a lady putting on Ibom air corporate
clothes who was behind the camera lens, could be seen
in the video to have approached the passenger at the
door point of the plane while the passenger was about
(05:16):
to be taking out, apparently dipped her hand towards the
waist part of the passenger, untucked the passenger shirt from
the trousers, grabden, pulled the passenger's shirt towards her head,
and in the process the passenger shirt got tore and
the passenger's chest, sexual organs or private parts were completely exposed.
The action of the Ibom Airline staff appeared to be deliberate,
(05:38):
as the airline female staff was not part of those
dragging the passenger off the aircraft, and after the female
passenger's body was exposed, the Ibom Airline's female staff never
joined or assisted the security operatives to drag the passenger
off the plane. This indicated that the motive of the
female's staff of Ibom Airline was solely to remove the
(05:59):
passenger sh shirt and expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Thank you, madam, and they call everybody learning, but more
for a maca pi nasa also go out and here
all stars is standing on the well.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
