Nigeria Aviation Minister, Festus Chamo 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 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 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 count charges the police filed against the passenger at a Keja magistrate caught in Lagos State.
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
the minister's statement reads verbatum 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 and physically assaulted both the flight crew and the ground staff.
The incident took place yesterday, August tenth, twenty twenty five, on Iimbo Bomb Airline flight number Q one hundred and fifty three from Uyo to Legos at about fourteen fifty four hours. Ibom Airline has since issued a statement to provide some context to the effect that the whole unfortunate 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 nd of Faan and her team, 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 not provide adequate surety 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 deplorable is to release such evidence containing indecent exposure to the public to ridicule her that is totally unacceptable to us.
A careful study of the viral video involving the Ibomb Airline personnel, Legos Airport's security operatives and an aggrieved passenger comfort E Manson on board the airline 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 Ibomb air corporate clothes who was behind the camera ends, could be seen in the video
to have approached the passenger at the door point of the plane while the passenger was about to be taking out, apparently dipped her hand towards the waist part of the passenger untock the passenger shirt from the trousies, grabbd and 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, 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 passenger
shirt and expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule. The video of the passenger's partial nakedness, especially her two breasts completely exposed due to the apparent action of a yet to be arrested and prosecuted female's staff of Ibomb Airlines has since gone viral, with some pornographic channels already updating their channels with the partial nakedness of the Ibom Airlines passenger.
According to Punch newspaper, Comfort Emanson, the passenger accused of assaulting airline officials aboard an ibamair flight from Uyo to Lagos, has been charged in court and remanded in Kirrikiri Correctional Center in Lagos. Sunday Machud, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus kmo Sam, confirmed the development in a post on his official ex handle on Monday. The more reason the flying
public should be more careful. The unruly passenger on the Yuyo, Lagos bound Ibomair miscomfort Edmanson, has been charged to court and she's now cooling off in Kirrikiri, Mashoud wrote. Ibom Air in a press statement on Monday, said that ibom Are confirms that on Sunday, August tenth, twenty twenty five, an incident occurred on board our Uyo Lagos flight involving a passenger, Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed a serious threat
to the safety of our crew, passengers and aircraft. Shortly before takeoff from Uyo, Emanson was instructed, in line with standard aviation safety procedures, to switch off her mobile phone. She bluntly refused to comply until the pilot in command made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off. This action prompted a verbal tirade from Emanson. The situation was eventually
calmed and the flight departed as scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos, Emanson waited for all other passengers to disembark, and then proceeded to confront the purser who had earlier instructed her. She walked up to the unsuspecting purser stepped on her forcibly tore off her wig removed her glasses and threw it to the floor and used her footwear to assault her.
Management of National Youth Service Corps under the leadership of Brigadier General Holukunley Nephew has given reasons y serving Nigeria Youth Corps member Rhier Reta Aguamaye was denied NYSC discharge certificate that could have enabled her exit the one year mandatory program after she completed the one year paramilitary service to her nation as a new graduate and according to a statement posted and made available by NYSC on Sunday with no name of the authority responsible for the press
statement written or mentioned in the statement, the NYSC said Corps member Retur Aguamei's discharge certificate was withheld and her service year extended by two months following her alleged absence or failure to attend the April twenty twenty five NYSC biometrics clearance at etiosa Local Government Area Secretariat, and the month stated by NYSC was barely few days after the Corps member had cried out loud in SI the month of March twenty twenty five over the apparent increasing high
rates of hunger as a result of rising costs of living in Nigeria, and as such, she described the President
Bola Ahmed Tenubu as a terrible president. In a swift reaction to the reason given by NYSC, Rita Aguamee's lawyer, Barrister in nibihe F Young, while answering questions from channel's television program presenters on Monday morning, said the statement issued by the management of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC on its decision to extend the service period and withhold the certificate of National Service of Corps member Hashie Rita
Aguamaye alias Raye, does not represent the truth of the matter, saying on April seventh, twenty twenty five, Rita was physically present at the Local Government Secretariat for the head count and clearance with the nys C official at the local government level deliberately refused to attend to her, even after six hours waiting, during which she was asked to go back and queued up on the line repeatedly, the NYSC officials still refused to attend to her and thereafter on
April eleventh, twenty twenty five, the core member went to meet the NYSC official and begged her to allow her perform her April twenty twenty five biometrics clearance. The NYSC female official refused and asked the corps member to leave. This Amnesty International said the National Youth Service Corps NYSC
must rescind its decision. The Amnesty International described as arbitrary and outrageous, saying NYSC allegedly used bureaucratic tricks to extend the core member national service year over the government's unacceptable intolerance of dissenting voices, with former Nigeria Vice President Atiku Abubaka describing the NYSC action as impunity and as such
cautioned the government against subjecting everything to politics. And on Monday morning, the former governor of an Amba State, Peter Hobey, issued a statement and said, in our country today, hunger and poverty are not just distant statistics. They are the
harsh reality that millions of our people face daily. Recently, the United Nations stated that about thirty four million Nigerians will face acute food insecurity and about sixty three percent of our population, which is about one hundred and thirty three million people now live in multi dimensional poverty inflation, even with the suppressed statistics bringing bring in a mortgage way
