Using “him” to address the defendant instead of “her” may be an issue.

I shake my head for sectionalization

There are many date formats that can be used, in this regards 8/11/2025 is interpreted as August 11 2025 and not 8th October 2025, as per the October written, that is simply an error that could be rectified.

What do we stand to gain by looking for comma full stop - all meant to deceive the gullible followers. If the culprit was from other tribe will he come out to say all this

OgbeniOja1:
Comparison and Analysis of Handling
Both incidents involved violations of aviation safety rules and disruptive behavior:
KWAM 1 refused to comply with crew instructions, endangered lives by blocking a plane, and allegedly assaulted an officer with liquid.
KWAM 2 refused to follow instructions and physically assaulted staff. However, the outcomes differ starkly:
Legal Action:
ValueJet did not sue KWAM 1, so no court case ensued against him. Ibom Air sued Emmanson immediately, leading to her arraignment and remand. The NCAA lacks prosecutorial powers and can only refer cases to law enforcement or impose bans; it emphasized that airlines' decisions to pursue civil suits determine court involvement.
Severity Perception: Some argue KWAM 1's actions were more dangerous (risking a plane's takeoff), yet he avoided custody. Others note Emmanson's assault was more direct and violent.
facebook.com
Influencing Factors: KWAM 1's celebrity status and connections (e.g., to political figures) likely played a role in the softer treatment, allowing time for an apology. Emmanson, as a non-celebrity, faced swift, harsh consequences without similar leniency. This fuels accusations of class-based justice: "One law for the rich, one for the poor."
The NCAA insists it's not double standards, as the cases were handled per airline policies and regulations. Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has called for better staff training and security coordination to prevent such escalations. However, critics like activist Dele Farotimi mock the authorities for favoritism, pointing to systemic issues in Nigeria's justice system.

Kwam1 is not yet in jail because of govt connects. Boko haram have not yet been eliminated because of govt support as well.

Selective justice is the highest form of injustice cos it is an insult of the law

oladipuposadeeq:
that's why one has to be extremely careful because what goes for K1 might not go for K2 despite the fact that in law k1 offence is much more than that of k2 but k2 is feeling hot fire in her yansh right now

PlasmaTV:
Why are you defending impunity, please? Why?
Why can't you be on the side of justice for once?

yemre:
What exactly do you mean by defending impunity? Well, I'm not surprised you are one of those justifying what the lady did to the air hostess and the airport security.

Continue justifying madness. Birds of a feather!

PlasmaTV:
A lady was told to put her phone off. She put it on airplane mode. The hostess said she must turn it off. The lady declined.

The hostess, upon landing in Lagos, blocked the way and didn't allow the lady deplane.
In the course of the scuffle, the lady was stripped naked and her video posted online for millions of people to see.

There is ZERO defense for that, my good man. They have ridiculed that woman.

iwaeda:
This is the warrant on the basis of which this young woman in the @ibomairlines saga is held at the Kirikiri Prisons. Note that it is dated 11 October 2025.

A post-dated committal warrant is not lawful on its face. In any case, what is the justification for remand until 6 Oct?!

That is not the exact story.

In the first place, nothing stops you from adhering to rules of an institution you find yourself at any point in time, no matter how highly placed.

Asking people to turn off their phones is for safety reasons and I believe every right thinking person understands that. In our little space most times, we communicate on phone and when there's interference of any sort, it disrupts our conversation and miscommunication happens in the process. How much more the instruction to do sth temporary for a smooth takeoff or landing of an airplane, of which she's also a passenger. All these would not last beyond 3mins.

The lady in jail as of now would have avoided all these if she had obeyed the simple rule, "turn off your phone"!

This became an issue between her and the air hostess and the next thing she started throwing slaps all around! Even the airport security personnel were not spared, these were the people she's probably never even met before. haba!

That only projects her ignorance and bad manners in the public space and I'm sure her family members would not be proud of that. Besides, if the airport security were military officers, I'm sure she wouldn't have dared.

Lastly, the lady in question was not privy to experiences of the crew members on that particular aircraft. So, obeying simple instructions would have been honourable.

If people don't understand this matter, honestly I don't know how else to explain it.

Even you, I'm sure you would not have done that if you were the lady!

I hope it's clearer now.

PlasmaTV:
Interestingly, posts have come up accusing that particular hostess of hostility and rudeness.

I fly internationally and "flight mode" is okay. Why insist on putting off your phone?
The lady didn't put off her phone at first because she claimed her power button had a fault. Someone helped her to put it off.

Tell me why she was physically blocked from deplaning by that same air hostess? Besides, why didn't the hostess allow her to deplane and then let security arrest her?

You speak about abiding with rules. Did KWAM abide with the rules when he allegedly poured alcohol on a crew member? Was he detained? Banned for life? Arrested? Stripped?

Oh, you think the lady just started causing a frenzy? What happened off camera? Do we know?
That lady deserves financial compensation. Heavy one. She was deliberately stripped and her naked body was posted online for everyone to see. That is injustice.

Rule of law - one for all, one for all.

Btw - the NBA stands with Miss Comfort. Let's see how it will play out.

PlasmaTV:
From what we've seen and issues that have sprung up, IbomAir is very biased about their reporting.

wirinet:
But you are not bias? OK, how did you come about your own information about the incident? Do you have the police or NCAA report?

PlasmaTV:
Lol
Read up on accounts of people who were actually on the flight, my chief.
I've read about 3 of such accounts. Ibom Air is culpable

free2ryhme:
This is exactly why I keep saying the average Nigerian police are cruel, and civil servants are awful. I don’t feel sorry for them. People like that are running this country.

Also, a post-dated committal warrant is illegal there’s no reason to keep her locked up in Kirikiri until October 6th. All this over a disagreement with Ibom Airlines? It’s pure intimidation. The airline and everyone involved need to be called out for this blatant abuse of power.

Did you read the post?

Because, reading what you wrote, lemme just say.......

I'm concerned.
