KWAM 1 act was more dangerous and shameful. It was a nationwide embarrassment, but, uptill now, no serious sanction where even the pilot has been ban allegedly for life, days later, they're banning a lady who is a nobody without fair hearing or court hearing. If the lady has a good lawyer, she might just have a case here cos we've only heard from one side

The justice system must be equal to everyone

This is Very true though. some people will still want to criticize this now. Nairaland is an APC platform. Any other constructive opinion is not welcomed

Thhis is truly sad. Nobody has even heard Ms. Emmanson’s side of the story before such a severe punishment was decided. Justice should listen before it judges, and compassion should guide our actions. I hope she’s given the chance to speak and be heard.

I don't understand, the lady assaulted an air staff, security operatives, and even police officers called to the scene, Kwam 1 was in front of a moving train endangering his own life, how are these sceneries the same thinghuh

This man keeps showing his biased tribalistic tendencies and thinks no one can see right through it?

KWAM 1 - 6 Months.
This Girl - Life.

Facts !!! Kwam1 must be charged!!!

I may not like what the Lady did but this POs statement made sense.

Banning her for life seemed quite excessive!! She should have been issued a caution or warning.

The lady seemed to be like someone under the influence of substance. The way she reacted was shocking, which was the same way must addicts reacts to troubling or charged moments. They may look innocent and harmless but ones you trigger their anger, the addiction in them takes over.

I feel sorry for her and I expect the authorities to tamper justice with mercy. This is going to be a traumatic experience for her and this needs to be handled well.

This is a poor analogy. We are operating a democracy here FYI. The animals are not practicing democracy.
You clearly didn’t get my point..

Are we not humans? Are humans not living things like animals?

Can’t you see that the rich and people at the top are always being protected, while the bottom people are being used..?

This man is becoming a daily nuisance just because of his faint hope of becoming president. He's so idle that he reacts to everything. Other opposition members are not this jobless to jump on every topic.


Such a person can never be president in a sane society
You mean a person who speaks up for the poor? You’re a clown 🤡

I wouldnt know about the law surrounding the banning of an individual for life, but what I do know is that the lady's case is different from the man's case. The lady physically assaulted an airline staff right on camera.
God bless you. A person that was alleged to have attempted to use fire extinguisher to attack airline staff, this is the person some people are having sympathy for, i wonder oo. That lady has mental issues, she needs rehabilitation, simple

This man and his mumuism, he is always using every opportunity he gets to spew out rubbish as usual. If anything happens for his own region, he go quick komot eyes, but if nah for another region, baba don quickly grant interview. Fine, equal treatment is good, but obi should stop playing politics with everything
E dey go round. E go soon touch you or person wen dey close to you. No be 9ja we dey?

As dem no treat her equally like Kwam 1, make the matter die because PO chook mouth na.

That is because in the jungle there are no laws or civilization. If we want a society that works then some things must be corrected.

Let us assume it is different so what?
Does that mean he should not be charged to court
What is your point when you say it is different

Now in the case of the lady les us say IT IS ALLEGED THAT
Emphasis alleged
Remember we are now talking law
Alleged she physically assaulted a person or persons

It is equally alleged that Wasiu assaulted the pilot and other persons prior to take off by pouring water on them. In law that is assault

Again alleged

And consequently he was deplaned

It is equally alleged that he obstructed an aircraft movement. Alleged

Now how serious is that?

This is the law

SECTION 459A of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act.
459A. Obstructing aircraft.
Any person who, by any unlawful act, obstructs, causes an alteration to be made in the course of, or in any way whatsoever hinders or impedes the movement of any aircraft, which is in motion on or in flight over any aerodrome, is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for two years

Which mercy, the punishment meted to her is not too much. Just only, switch off phone and that led to that level of violence, to the extent of attempting to use fire extinguisher to attack airline staff after slapping them, that was too much, she needs to get a punishment that will deter others from committing thesame crime.

You’re pitting analogy against reality and truth,hierarchy and class exist for a reason and as long it is not a capital offence,hierarchy and class will always save the day

So your current president is not bias, and not tribalistic? Rest. You lots playing God, I really feel for all of you. Ignorance everywhere.

All these comparisons with animals, No cap bro but are you indirectly refering to Nigeria as a zoo ??

This about the law not how shocked you are
What is her alleged offence and what is the prison time prescribed by law

It s an assault whether you use a fire extinguisher or a towel whether you pour water or you spit on a persons let us talk law not shock or outrage

What is Wasiu alleged to have have done
At least 2 things
1. Assaulted pilot and other persons prior to take off by pouring water on them
2. Disruptive behavior on aircraft to an extent that he was not allowed to fly
3. Obstructing the movement of aircraft

The question is should Wasiu be charged to court? No long argument

The law

SECTION 459A of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act.
459A. Obstructing aircraft.
Any person who, by any unlawful act, obstructs, causes an alteration to be made in the course of, or in any way whatsoever hinders or impedes the movement of any aircraft, which is in motion on or in flight over any aerodrome, is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for two years

In simple terms Nigeria is a jungle not a civil society. You see your life?

For the records, I'm totally against Obi presidency.

Standing infront of an aircraft is akin to holding passengers hostage.

Educate yourself.
