00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>There is still no peace in sight after nearly three

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>hours of meeting held in Anchorage City in Alaska, a

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>state in the United States US between President Vladimir Putin

4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States

5
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>over the war Russia launched since twenty twenty two in Ukraine,

6
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>which has led to thousands of deaths, mostly Ukrainians, which

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 1>President Voladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, who was not invited for

8
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the meeting on Friday, in a statement, said that it

9
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 1>was time to end the war, but Russia must take

10
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the necessary steps to a genuine peace. Steel And while

11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>commenting on the statement made by the President of Poland

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Karl Navoki on Friday via x social media platform to

13
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>mark Poland Armed Forces Day, which coincided with the day

14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Putin and Trump met in Alaska, President Zelenski said that

15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's independence strengthens Poland's independence and we must always remember

16
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that the Miracle on the Vistula was made possible through

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>joint efforts and it saved Europe and the Polish President

18
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Karl Navoki had said that today we celebrate the one

19
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifth anniversary of the Great Polish victory at

20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the Battle of Warsaw. In nineteen twenty, the Polish Army,

21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>together with Ukrainian forces, successfully repelled the Red Army's westward March,

22
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 1>safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For centuries, Russian imperialism

23
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland's political

24
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of

25
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>domestic despotism, in which the only freeman is the ruler himself.

26
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But precisely because Russian despotism is the enemy of freedom,

27
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Russian imperialism can only be defeated through an alliance of

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>free peoples. My nation halted Russian imperialism at Usher fifteen fourteen,

29
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Klashido one thousand, six hundred ten and Warsaw nineteen twenty.

30
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>It was probably a synature of world attention when Air

31
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Force one and Russia presidential aircraft officially wheeled down a

32
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>joint and bay Selbendorf as President Donald Trump and President

33
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Vladimir Putin met face to face for the first time

34
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>since the war in Ukraine started on February twenty fourth,

35
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, and the Friday meeting marked the first

36
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 1>time President Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on western

37
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>country soil since he launched the war against Ukraine. He

38
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>was able to meet Trump in Alaska because the US

39
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>is not a member country of the International Criminal Court

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Ices that issued a warrant of arrest against the Kremlin

41
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>leader since twenty twenty three over alleged war crime in Ukraine.

42
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It would be recalled that the Russian President Vladimir Putin

43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 1>did not attend the twenty twenty five annual Brazil, Russia, India,

44
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 1>China and South Africa Summit known as Briggs Summit in

45
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Brazil due to concerns over an International Criminal Court warrant

46
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>for his arrest in connection with alleged war crimes committed

47
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine. According to the Kremlin aid Yuri Yashikov, President

48
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Vladimir Putin did not attend the summit due to certain

49
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>difficulties in the context of the ICC requirement, adding in

50
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear

51
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting. Instead,

52
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the Russian leader joined his Bricks colleagues via video link.

53
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Futen was declared a war crime suspect since the ICC

54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>named him in a March twenty twenty three arrest warrant

55
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>over the mass deportation of Ukrainian children. Co contestants in

56
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 1>the last concluded general elections in Nigeria and former governor

57
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>of a Nambra State, Peter Obi, has faulted President Bola

58
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Ahmed tenubu trip to Brazil and also condemned the president

59
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>frequent travel abroad at any slightest invitation and abandoned pressing

60
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>issues of insecurity and other deplorable situations that make the

61
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>nation bleeds. Specifically, Peter Obi said, the situation we find

62
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our President, who has not

63
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>found it worthy to visit any of our troubled states,

64
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>takes joy in traveling to foreign countries at the slightest

65
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>invitation or excuse, often departing several days even before the

66
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 1>events he's invited to. The Presidency had, in a statement

67
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday, said that President Bola Tanubu will depart Abuja

68

<v Speaker 1>Japan and Brazil. The President will stop over in Dubai,

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.839

<v Speaker 1>will explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign agreements and

96
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>memoranda of understanding maus with the Brazilian government. Bao on Anuga,

97
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, stated

98
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on August thirteenth, twenty twenty five, Peter Oby, the Labour

99
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Party presidential candidate in the last concluded general elections in

100
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the West Africa country, in a statement on Thursday, said, again,

101
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>our president moves as the nation bleeds amid the deplorable

102
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 1>state of our nation. In all ramifications, we have a

103
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>virtually indifferent president who has continued to display insensitivity to

104
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 1>our situation. How can anyone explain that a president who

105
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>came from Brazil recently in mass, Federal Government of Nigeria

106
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu has ordered

107
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos Airport to

108
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 1>withdraw the one sided and obviously bias court case the

109
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria Police Force may have wrongly instituted against a Nibom

110
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Air passenger, comfort Emanson, who was seen in viral videos

111
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>retaliating and defending herself physically after a group of Ibom

112
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Air personnel and Lagos Airport team had attacked her and

113
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>provoked her to action. The FG position on the issue

114
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 1>was made known by the Nigeria Minister of Aviation, Festus Kamo,

115
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>in a press release the Minister signed and made available

116
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>few minutes ago. Although Festus Kamo reversed his self and

117
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged that the issue was a case of confrontation between

118
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the twenty six years old passenger and the staff of

119
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Ibam Airlines, who in the new press release admitted that

120
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 1>the staff of Ibom Air and the Lagos Airport Authority

121
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>team acted wrongly, but the Minister did not state how

122
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the attack act passenger would be compensated, most especially when

123
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 1>her chest sexual organs were seems to be deliberately exposed

124
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>after a suspected Ibom Airline staff pulled off and tore

125
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the passenger shirt with obvious intention to expose the passenger's nakedness.

126
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 1>The action of the federal government may ease the tension

127
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>among millions of people who have accused the Nigeria Police

128
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Force obayding and avetting the Ibom Airline company to continue

129
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to attack and oppress the offended passenger, Comfort Bob, who

130
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 1>is also identified as Comfort Emanson, by thus supporting the

131
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>statement of Ibom Air management, who in their first press

132
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>released made statement that seems to have some level of

133
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 1>deliberate falsehood and raising up a dead issue to win

134
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>undue public sentiments manipulate. The Nigeria Police forced to help

135
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>them secured attention holding charge from the Legos State Magistrate

136
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 1>caught to further oppress and intimidate the attacked passenger. Specifically,

137
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Ibom Air stated in her first press released that shortly

138
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>after the plane landed at Lagos Airport, the passenger waited

139
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>for every other passenger on board the plane to disembark

140
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and thereafter, without provocation, went to one of the plane hostesses,

141
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Juliana Edward. The Ibom air management described as purser stepped

142
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 1>on her, forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses

143
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and threw it to the floor, and used her footwear

144
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 1>to assault her. She slapped her several times, and when

145
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the other cabin crew member tried to intervene, she slapped

146
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>her too. She then attempted to forcibly remove a fire

147
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act that could

148
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 1>have damaged and grounded the aircraft. Soon after the Ibom

149
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Air management released the statement on Monday, her video surfaced

150
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>on the Internet that probably invalidated the statement of the

151
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Ibom Air management and stood out as an acceptable evidence

152
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that the management of Ibomb error people who may be

153
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>rightly described as pathological liars who probably believed in telling

154
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>lies as a way of managing crisis and handling difficult

155
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 1>customers relations. Has seen in the viral video that surfaced

156
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 1>the Internet after the apparent falsehood of Ibomb Air management,

157
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the attack passenger was seen politely telling the air hostess

158
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Juliana Edward to leave the doorway so that she can

159
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.879
<v Speaker 1>disembark from the plane. The seenior aggressor in this matter,

160
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the air hostess Juliana Edward, refused to yield to the

161
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>appeal of the passenger, and Ibom air management in their

162
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>first press release, confirmed that the air hostess Juliana Edward,

163
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>deliberately blocked the door. Nigeria Aviation Minister Festus Caamo says

164
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the Ministry has directed for the aviation staff who released

165
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 1>the video footage containing the aspect of an Ibom Airlines

166
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>passenger Comfort Emanson or Bob scene in an indecent appearance

167
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>with her chest sexual organs exposed after the passenger shirt

168
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>was torn by an Ibom Airline staff while security operatives

169
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 1>were seen in the viral video dragging the aggrieved passenger

170
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 1>out of the aircraft. Following an act of confrontation between

171
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the passenger and Ibom Airlines hostesses, which one of the

172
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hostesses blocked the right of way of the passenger and

173
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>prevented the passenger from disembarking from the plane and after

174
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>countless warning to the airline passenger to leave the road,

175
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the passenger went physical with the hostess by allegedly slapping

176
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>her on the face, which the confrontation with the hostess

177
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>apparently led to the alleged destruction of the plane divider cotton,

178
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>which Hibom Airlines valued at two thousand, five hundred dollars,

179
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>as stated in count five of the five count charges

180
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the police filed against the passenger at a Keja magistrate

181
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>caught in Lagos State. The Aviation Minister Festus Kmo, who

182
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>described the behavior of the passenger as unruly, said, although

183
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the airline staff is right to video record the event

184
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of the passenger's behavior for the purpose of legal action,

185
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 1>but it is totally unacceptable for the staff to release

186
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 1>part of the video that exposed the passenger's nakedness, especially

187
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 1>her breasts. Details of the Minister's statement reads for datum below.

188
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Enough is Enough reading the Riot Act on Aviation Safety

189
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 1>and Security. In reference to the case of unruly Comfort

190
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Bob on Ibom Airline and related incidents. Earlier today, we

191
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>again woke up to viral videos of a female passenger

192
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>on Ibom Airline, now identified as Comfort Emanson or Comfort Bob,

193
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>who went berserk and physically assaulted both the flight crew

194
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and the ground staff. The incident took place yesterday, August tenth,

195
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, on Ibom Airline flight number Q one

196
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty three from Uyo to Legos at about fourteen

197
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 1>fifty four hours. Ibom Airline has since issued a statement

198
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to provide some context to the effect that the whole

199
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.399
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate incident arose because of the refusal of the passenger

200
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to switch off her phone during takeoff as required by

201
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>extant international civil aviation regulations. Consequently, in the last few hours,

202
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I have been speaking with the Commissioner of Police of

203
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 1>the Airport Police Command, the DG of the NC Double

204
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 1>A and his team, the end of f A A

205
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>N and her team, the COO of Hbom Air and

206
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>his team about the incident. Apart from the indefinite flight

207
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 1>ban imposed on the said unruly passenger, both local and

208
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>international by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority n C Double A,

209
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.039
<v Speaker 1>the police has promptly arraigned her this morning at the

210
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Akejah Magistrates Caught for criminal offenses and remanded her Kirikiri

211
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Prisons as she could not provide adequate sureties in court.

212
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 1>I have attached the charge sheet and remand order for clarity.

213
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We also note the scuffle that took place between the

214
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>unruly passenger and ground personnel before she was eventually subdued.

215
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 1>This was because of her uncooperative attitude Whilst we support

216
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 1>the filming of her recalcitrant behavior as evidence to prosecute her,

217
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 1>what is deplorable is to release such evidence containing indecent

218
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>exposure to the public to ridicule her. That is totally

219
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.159
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable to us. A careful study of the viral video

220
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 1>involving the IBOM Airline personnel, legos, airport security operatives and

221
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 1>an aggrieved passenger comfort E Manson on board the airline

222
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>plane on Sunday indicated that while the enraged passenger was

223
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>being dragged off the plane by three men who held

224
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 1>her two hands and legs, suspending her a little bit

225
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 1>on the air, a lady putting on Ibomb air corporate clothes,

226
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>who was behind the camera lens, could be seen in

227
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the video to have approached the passenger at the door

228
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>point of the plane while the passenger was about to

229
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>be taking out, apparently dipped her hand towards the waist

230
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 1>part of the passenger, untucked the passenger shirt from the trousers,

231
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>grabbed and pulled the passenger's shirt towards her head, and

232
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>in the process the passenger shirt got tore and the

233
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 1>passenger's chest, sexual organs or private parts were completely exposed.

234
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>The action of the Ibom Airline staff appeared to be deliberate,

235
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 1>as the airline female staff was not part of those

236
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>dragging the passenger off the aircraft and ar after the

237
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>female passenger's body was exposed. The Ibom Airlines female staff

238
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.279
<v Speaker 1>never joined or assisted the security operatives to drag the

239
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 1>passenger off the plane. This indicated that the motive of

240
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the female's staff of Ibom Airline was solely to remove

241
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the passenger shirt and expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule.

242
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>The video of the passenger's partial nakedness, especially her two

243
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 1>breasts completely exposed due to the apparent action of a

244
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 1>yet to be arrested and prosecuted female staff of Ibom

245
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Airlines has since gone viral, with some pornographic channels already

246
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>updating their channels with the partial nakedness of the Ibom

247
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Airlines passenger. According to Punch newspaper, Comfort Emanson, the passenger

248
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 1>accused of assaulting airline officials aboard an Ibom air flight

249
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>from Muyo to Lagos, has been charged in court and

250
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>remanded in Kirrikiri Correctional Center in Lagos. Tundai machued Special

251
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Aviation

252
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 1>and Aerospace Development, Festus kmo Sam confirmed the development in

253
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>a post on his official ex handle on Monday. The

254
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>more reason the flying public should be more careful. The

255
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>unruly passenger on the Yuyo Lagos bound Ibombair Miscomfort Emanson,

256
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 1>has been charged to court and she's now cooling off

257
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in Kirrikiri, Michoud wrote. Ibom Are in a press statement

258
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, said that Ibomhre confirms that on Sunday, August tenth,

259
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, an incident occurred on board our Uyo

260
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Lagos flight involving a passenger, Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed

261
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 1>a serious threat to the safety of our crew, passengers

262
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and aircraft. Shortly before takeoff from Muyo, Emanson was instructed,

263
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in line with standard aviation safety procedures, to switch off

264
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.679
<v Speaker 1>her mobile phone. She bluntly refused to comply until the

265
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 1>pilot in command made an announcement, after which a fellow

266
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off.

267
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 1>This action prompted a verbal tirade from Emanson. The situation

268
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.839
<v Speaker 1>was eventually calmed and the flight departed as scheduled. Upon

269
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>arrival in Lagos, Emanson waited for all other passengers to

270
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 1>disembark and then proceeded to confront the purser who had

271
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.279
<v Speaker 1>earlier instructed her. She walked up to the unsuspecting purser,

272
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>stepped on her forcibly, tore off her wig, removed her

273
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>glasses and threw it to the floor, and used her

274
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>footwear to assault her. Management of National Youth Service Corps,

275
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>under the leadership of Brigadier General Holukunlenfew has given reasons

276
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 1>why a serving Nigeria Youth Corps member, hier Rita Aguamaye

277
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>was denied NYSC discharge certificate that could have enabled her

278
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 1>exit the one year mandatory program after she completed the

279
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>one year paramilitary service to her nation as a new graduate.

280
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>And according to a statement posted and made available by

281
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>NYSC on Sunday with no name of the authority responsible

282
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>for the press statement written or mentioned in the statement,

283
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 1>the NYSC said Corps member Returiguamei's discharge certificate was withheld

284
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and her service year extended by two months following her

285
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.319
<v Speaker 1>alleged absence or failure to attend the April twenty twenty

286
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>five NYSC biometrics clearance at Etiosa Local Government Area Secretariat,

287
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and the month stated by NYSC was barely few days

288
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 1>after the Corps member had cried out loud in the

289
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>month of March twenty twenty five over the apparent increasing

290
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 1>high rates of hunger as a result of rising costs

291
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of living in Nigeria and as such, she described the

292
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>President Bola armed Tanubu as a terrible president. In a

293
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>swift reaction to the reason given by NYSC, Returiguamea's lawyer

294
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 1>barrister and nibihe f Young, while answering questions from Channel's

295
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>television program presenters on Monday morning, said the statement issued

296
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>by the management of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC

297
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 1>on its decision to extend the service period and withhold

298
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 1>the certificate of National Service of Corps member Hashier Rita

299
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Aguamaye alias Raye does not represent the truth of the matter,

300
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.279
