I have a lot of respect for Abike Dabiri, but in this case, I believe she erred. She was far too quick to publicly advocate for Wasiu without allowing the law to take its full course. As a government official, she cannot afford to speak recklessly, especially in defense of someone accused of a serious offense. KWAM1 is not above the law of the land. And to the women of Nigeria, why this deafening silence? Senator Oluremi Tinubu, we saw your energy and zeal when Senator Abbo was held accountable for violating a woman. Can you bring that same energy here? Senator Binani, if you aspire to lead an entire state in Adamawa, will you stand for all Nigerian women or only those from your home state? Chief Justice Kekere-Ekun, your tenure will not last forever. How will history remember you, silent, or as someone who fought for women’s dignity? That woman could have been you, your sister, or your daughter. Why are our women leaders refusing to lend their voices, their platforms, and their influence to defend one of their own? The silence is not just disappointing,it is dangerous. |
When it comes to defending Nigerians in distress, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has never shied away from the cameras, unless, apparently, the victim doesn’t fit the political script. When Comfort, a young Nigerian woman, was humiliated mid-air, her top ripped open, her nudity recorded and shared across the internet the silence from the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission was deafening. No statement. No outrage. No promise of investigation. Not even the most robotic “we will look into it.” Yet, when it was Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, KWAM 1, caught in an incident, Dabiri was quick to urge the nation to “remember that to err is human.” That soft cushioning of wrongdoing was extended to a man of influence, a political ally, a known name. But for Comfort? Nothing but a diplomatic black hole. This isn’t about personal favoritism it’s about the dangerous message it sends: That in Nigeria, your dignity, your rights, and your protection under the law are directly proportional to your political or celebrity value. That a poor woman’s humiliation isn’t worth the ink of a press statement, while a musician with connections is worthy of immediate defense. Comfort’s ordeal is not a mere “incident.” It is a clear violation of her fundamental human rights, committed in a controlled environment, a commercial aircraft, where the airline bears absolute responsibility for passenger safety and privacy. The act was compounded by the digital humiliation of circulating the footage, and then capped with an authoritarian travel ban and detention. If Abike Dabiri can speak up for a man accused of wrongdoing, why is she silent for a woman who was wronged? Leadership is not selective. Human rights are not a buffet where you pick what’s convenient to acknowledge. Silence in the face of injustice is complicity. And right now, the Chairperson’s silence is echoing louder than any statement she has ever made.

MyExpression:She was not resisting arrest. They kidnapped her. She was trying to leave the plane, she was stopped by the dictator air hostess, then some men who have no authority came and held her in custody, none of her rights were read to her ! She was formally told she was being detained ! They had no idea what they were doing, thats why when she got down from the plane.....they were all looking like, what next now. That air hostess tore her dress and had her filmed and exposed. |
Nice one, IGP. We all love Wasiu, but we love Nigeria more. The law must be upheld. Let him stand in court and humble himself, no exceptions, no shortcuts. KWAM1 is emulated by countless Area Boys in Lagos. If you let this slide, you’re sending them the wrong message, that fame can shield you from justice. One day, these same people could damage an aircraft over a silly excuse, or even cause chaos mid-air. Make an example out of KWAM1, and the entire nation, especially the street, will get the memo: the law is sacrosanct.

This should be reported to International Human Rights Commission (IHRC): IHRC Headquarters (Geneva, Switzerland): Address: International Human Rights Commission Rue de Varembé 7, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland Email: info@ihrc.org Website: ihrc.org Additional Office (Prague, Czech Republic): Address: International Human Rights Commission Jindřišská 5, 110 00 Prague 1, Czech Republic |
Smilleydr:Bra and pant don cost for Tinubu regime....you have to choose between buying food and buying bra !!! |
This is the most egregious human rights violation Nigeria has seen in recent memory. An air hostess ripped off her top, exposing her, and then the humiliating video was deliberately circulated. Everyone on that plane knows who recorded it, because the perpetrator had to be in close proximity. After subjecting her to this public degradation, the authorities extrajudicially slapped her with a no-fly list and locked her up in Kirikiri Prison, all within hours. If this happened to an American citizen, there would be B-52 bombers circling Nigerian airspace by now. It’s utterly repulsive and inhumane. Instead of the Minister of Aviation apologizing and launching a thorough investigation into the treatment of a paying customer, the blame game has been shamefully shifted onto the victim. Do we even have leadership in this country anymore? |
SenatorCharles1: When you arrest the last passenger "inside" your aircraft. You are 100% liable for her nude images going viral. Because its inside your aircraft and the camera person was also inside your aircraft. |
SenatorCharles1:Go and watch the clip where the air hostess stood in her way and denied her exit of the aircraft. If somebody without authority kidnaps me, i will fight back. |
SenatorCharles1: Raise children who stand up for themselves, not those who stay silent under oppression. Imagine an American visiting Nigeria for Detty December,if someone dared to pull down their pants and expose their breasts, then circulated those images worldwide, you’d see the full force of the law come crashing down, no matter the provocation. That’s the real test of justice: it must apply equally and fiercely to all, without exception. |
givedemwotowoto:Very sensible observation! Keyamo and those issuing these bans lack any lawful authority to impose such extrajudicial rulings. These actions are not just illegal, they are fundamentally antithetical to democratic governance. The Ibom Air flight attendant had zero legal authority to detain a passenger from exiting the plane. That act alone amounts to unlawful detention. To compound this, placing her in Kirikiri prison within 24 hours, without due process or bail, is a gross violation of her constitutional rights. Sadly, this pattern of trampling on ordinary Nigerians’ rights is all too familiar. Remember the KWAM1 case? The pilot was suspended immediately, no investigation, no trial,just instant punishment,while Wasiu was already back making music by the weekend. This selective and summary justice exposes how skewed the system is against the powerless. It’s time Nigerian authorities are held accountable for these blatant abuses of power. |
SenatorCharles1:What has that got to do with stripping her naked and circulating the videos online ? Even if she did what others didnt do, we have a process and law enforcement system.....We dont have airline vigilante !! How many naked pictures have kidnappers posted online ? How many naked pictures has Boko Haram posted online ? Why did Ibom-Air allow a passenger who they have held in custody, have her privacy violated by releasing her nudes ? Somebody was violated, you are asking for the other passengers. Did the other passengers buy her ticket for her ? Please ask sensible questions. |
SenatorCharles1:That argument won’t hold water. She was detained illegally, still aboard the aircraft,where she was forcibly stripped naked and her images circulated online. Within 24 hours, she was not only locked up in Kirikiri Prison but slapped with a national and international no-fly list. This isn’t just a human rights violation; it’s arguably one of the gravest abuses happening globally right now, worse even than the atrocities in Gaza. What’s most chilling is how every person in power, no matter how small their authority, is echoing this blatant disregard for fundamental rights, mimicking the highest echelons of impunity and abuse. |
Once she is still inside your plane and you have her in custody against her will. You are fully responsible for her dignity 100%, If you let her naked images leak online.......you are 100% liable. Because you prevented her from leaving the aircraft. There is no law that states that an air hostess can detain a passenger from exiting a flight at the end of the trip. After detaining her, you now have her in your custody 100%. Anything that happens to her in your custody is fully your responsibility. Same thing happened to George Floyd in USA. He died while they were restraining him and the USA government paid a huge settlement and it caused riots all over the world. Release Ms. Comfort and stop infringing on her human rights further, also only a competent court can put you on a no fly list. Keyamo stop playing God. An email to IHRC will have Nigeria in the media and bad books of human rights violation. First it was the pilot's unilateral suspension without similar punishment to the aggressor VIP KWAM1.

Once you are in custody , whether under a government agency, a private security outfit, or even an airline crew , you cease to be an autonomous individual in the eyes of responsibility. You become the liability of the custodian. Your safety, dignity, and survival are no longer your own to secure; they are the custodian’s full, non-transferable duty. If you die while restrained, the agency restraining you owns that death. Not metaphorically. Legally, morally, and institutionally. If you are stripped naked and those images make their way into the public domain, the entity holding you is fully responsible for that exposure, because you were under their control. The chain of custody is not only about objects in evidence, it is about human beings. The tragic case of Miss Comfort lays this bare in disturbing clarity. From the moment an Ibom Air flight attendant blocked her from exiting the aircraft, Comfort was in custody. The crew can deny you boarding. They can have you removed before takeoff. But once you are on that aircraft, no law grants a flight attendant the authority to physically block your exit to keep you inside against your will. Doing so crosses the line into unlawful detention , in plain terms, kidnapping. This is the moment the legal chain of responsibility began. Every second thereafter , from the restraint to the humiliation, to the circulation of her nude images online ,rests on the shoulders of Ibom Air. She was not free. She was not under her own control. The airline had seized that control and therefore inherited absolute liability for everything that happened to her. Public relations spin cannot erase that legal and ethical reality. This incident is not a matter of “procedure gone wrong” or “crew misunderstanding.” It is a matter of unlawful detention and custodial abuse. Once you place a human being in your custody, there is no half-measure: you are responsible for their life, their body, their dignity, and their image. If they die, it is your death to answer for. If they are violated, it is your violation to defend against. Ibom Air, in this case, failed on all counts. And the public should be clear-eyed: custodial abuse is not just a police problem, not just a prison problem, it can happen in the sky, in a hospital ward, in an immigration holding room, or even behind the faux-smiling service curtain of a luxury airline. This is why the law , and public outrage , must be merciless on this principle: the moment you take custody of another human being, everything that happens to them happens on your watch. The shame, the injury, the violation ,it is all yours to own. The air hostess has the right, to stop you from boarding an aircraft, the air hostess can also kick you off an aircraft. But no air hostess has the write to hold you hostage. The minute the people placed their hands on Ms. Comfort to place her in security custody. Whatever happens to her, Ibom-Air is liable. If her nudes circulate, Ibom air is fully liable. If she had a heart attack and died like George floyd did in America. Ibom Air is also liable.

Ofunaofu: lol..... |
There should be a senate hearing on aviation security and safety of Nigerians at the airport. (If only we had senators who knew their Job, they rather fight their colleagues than ensure aviation safety and hold Keyamo accountable for all these nonsense going on) Keyamo should be made to walk the plank and to explain to Nigerians why Comfort is in Kirikiri within 24hrs and KWAM1 is releasing new songs over the weekend. These is why we have 3 arms of government. If 2 other arms fail, Legislative arm of government should kick in as a fail safe mechanism. |
Keyamo, Neither an airline nor the Minister of Aviation can lawfully impose an indefinite flight ban on a Nigerian citizen or a 6 month ban without a valid law and due process, usually via a court order. You are using your office to breach the constitutional rights of Nigerian citizens and this can be challenged in court. Attorney general Fagbemi, you are also complicit, you are watching Keyamo break the law repeatedly, Tinubu's government is issuing sentences without due process. The senate and house of representative is also keeping quiet. The lawyers should go to court and get an injunction suspending all the nonsense orders keyamo has given, until a competent court issues these orders. We are in a democracy not a military rule. I am sure you all know these fact already. When the Minister of Aviation uses his office to protect allies while punishing others without trial, the entire system of justice is compromised. Festus Keyamo, SAN, has now become a living example of why selective enforcement is corrosive to democracy. The KWAM1–Comfort Saga has exposed this rot. KWAM1, a politically connected Fuji musician, allegedly assaulted airport staff and was caught on tape threatening airline owner Kunle Soname of ValueJet. Comfort, an ordinary passenger on an Ibom Air flight, became embroiled in an in-flight scuffle. Today, KWAM1 walks free after a tokenistic suspension announcement, while Comfort is locked up in Kirikiri Prison without arraignment, without trial, without bail. The Silencing of Truth Instead of defending transparency, Keyamo has moved to gag airport staff and passengers ,warning against taking videos of incidents. Why? Because these videos are the very proof that shows Nigerians the hypocrisy in enforcement. This is the same Keyamo who once ordered a pilot’s license suspended without trial, acting as judge, jury, and executioner. If the same standard applied to him, who would have the power to suspend his law license without trial? Or does the rule of law end where political privilege begins? Jurisdictional Overreach and Favouritism Keyamo had neither legal authority nor jurisdiction to mete out a six-month suspension to KWAM1, yet he did it, not to uphold justice, but to cool public anger while ensuring the politically connected suffer no real consequences. A Return to Military-Era Selective Justice This administration is now worse than the Abacha days in its selective application of the law. Then, injustice was brutal but predictable; now, it is cloaked in the false garb of democracy. Some are allowed to break laws without consequence, while others are crushed instantly. The extrajudicial detention of Comfort is not a “small” issue. Nigeria’s own history shows that perceived injustice is the seed from which insurgency and unrest grow. Deny citizens their constitutional rights, and you erode the legitimacy of the state itself. Festus Keyamo’s actions are turning Nigeria’s aviation sector into a stage for political patronage and double standards. The Senate, the Nigerian Bar Association, and civil society must act , if Keyamo will not resign, he must be sacked. Otherwise, we risk normalizing a justice system where truth is suppressed and the law bends only for the connected.

There is too much awareness in the world for ISRAEL to gaslight the whole world...... #FreePalestine #ArrestKWAM1 |
Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, following similar moves by the UK, France and Canada, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg33351n61o 21

Jonathan has better name recognition than Obi The average Nigerian in Bakori LGA will vote for Jonathan. WHY He still remembers how cost of living was affordable. There are people in the north that dont know Obi. |
sangresan:I hope they did DNA on you. |
Adblg0610:Pending senate screening Do you remember that el-rufai was made minister subject to senate screening ? Did he go to the office of the minister with 50 thugs and forcefully occupy it ? We have to be careful promoting thuggery and rascalism. Garba Ramat is still pending the legislators screening and confirmation. |
cr7lomo:Why are you bothered, you seem to be following me up and down ? Is #KWAM1 paying you ? |
Educationalserv:Everybody know he doesn't have any know how on the position. Tinubu just appoints to stakeholders regardless of their merits. The fact that he went there with 50 thugs tells you, the kind of person that was appointed. Most likely a plane stopper too |
Sojizulu:When they are wrong they wont say anything....but wait till a political opponent says something....Bayo Onanuga will jump out of the shadows and start yapping away. |
duduade:They have realized the president is weak. Imagine ordinary LGA chairman being appointed NERC Chairman and he is going to takeover with thugs. |
akinmusi:I am showing you pictures of those that can disclose FIRS classified documents and nothing will happen. |
