00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>A careful study of the viral video involving the IBOM

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Airline personnel, legos, airport security operatives and an aggrieved passenger

3
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>comfort E Manson on board the airline plane on Sunday,

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.759
<v Speaker 1>indicated that while the enraged passenger was being dragged off

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the plane by three men who held her two hands

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and legs, suspending her a little bit on the air,

7
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>a lady putting on IBOMB air corporate clothes who was

8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>behind the camera lens, could be seen in the video

9
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to have approached the passenger at the door point of

10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the plane while the passenger was about to be taking out,

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>apparently dipped her hand towards the waist part of the passenger,

12
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>untuck the passenger shirt from the trousers, grabbed and pulled

13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the passenger's shirt towards her head, and in the process

14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the passenger shirt got tore and the passenger's chest, sexual

15
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 1>organs or private parts were completely exposed. The action of

16
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the IBOM Airline staff appeared to be deliberate, as the

17
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 1>airline female staff was not part of those dragging the

18
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>passenger off the aircraft and arm after the female passenger's

19
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>body was exposed, the IBOM airline's female staff never joined

20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>or assisted the security operatives to drag the passenger off

21
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the plane. This indicated that the motive of the female's

22
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>staff of Ibom Airline was solely to remove the passenger

23
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>shirt and expose the aggrieved airline passenger to ridicule. The

24
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>video of the passenger's partial nakedness, especially her tuobe breasts

25
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>completely exposed due to the apparent action of a yet

26
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to be arrested and prosecuted female staff of Ibom Airlines,

27
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>has since gone viral, with some pornographic channels already updating

28
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>their channels with the partial nakedness of the Ibom Airlines passenger.

29
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>According to Punch newspaper, Comfort Emanson, the passenger accused of

30
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>assaulting airline officials aboard an Ibomb air flight from Muyo

31
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to Lagos, has been charged in court and remanded in

32
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Kirrikiri Correctional Center in Lagos. Tundaimachewed, Special Adviser on Media

33
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.760

34
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Festus kmo Sam, confirmed the development in a post on

35
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>his official ex handle on Monday. The more reason the

36
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 1>flying public should be more careful the unruly passenger on

37
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the Yuyo, Lagos bound Ibomair Miscomfort Emanson has been charged

38
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 1>to court and she's now cooling off in Kirrikiri, Michoud wrote.

39
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Hibom Air in a press statement on Monday, said that

40
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Ibomhir confirms that on Sunday, August tenth, twenty twenty five,

41
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>an incident occurred on board our Uyo Lagos flight involving

42
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>a passenger, Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed a serious threat

43
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to the safety of our crew, passengers and aircraft. Shortly

44
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>before takeoff from Muyo, Emanson was instructed, in line with

45
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>standard aviation safety procedures, to switch off her mobile phone.

46
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>She bluntly refused to comply until the pilot in command

47
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside

48
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 1>her took the phone and switched it off. This action

49
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>prompted a verbal tirade from Emmanson. The situation was eventually

50
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 1>calmed and the flight departed as scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos,

51
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Emanson waited for all other passengers to disembark, and then

52
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>proceeded to confront the purser who had earlier instructed her.

53
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>She walked up to the unsuspecting purser stepped on her

54
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 1>forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses and threw

55
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 1>it to the foe, and used her footwear to assault her.

56
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>She slapped her several times, and when the other cabin

57
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She

58
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use

59
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and

60
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>grounded the aircraft. By this time, the pilot in command

61
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>had alerted airport security. Before security could arrive, the purser,

62
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>as seen on the viral video on the Internet, prevented

63
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 1>the passenger from leaving the aircraft until security a The

64
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>arrival of Iboma Air security personnel did not deter the passenger,

65
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>as she attacked him as well, lashing out violently at

66
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 1>both Hibomair and Faan security. She was then restrained and

67
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>removed from the aircraft by force. Even after disembarking, she

68
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 1>continued to assault both Hibomair and Faan security staff and

69
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>even slap the ground supervisor. The passenger was removed from

70
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the ramp and taken into custody by Faan security and

71
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation.

72
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Ibom Air has since submitted a report on the incident

73
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 1>to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and placed a travel

74
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>restriction on Emanson, who will no longer be permitted to

75
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>fly on any of our aircraft. Ibomair reiterates its zero

76
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>tolerance policy towards any form of unruly or violent conduct

77
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 1>that threatens the safety of passengers, crew, or equipment. Such

78
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>behavior will be met with the strongest possible risk of procas.

79
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I can never bring in you bring news in a

80
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>mortgage aware
