The breast is extremely clean. Best I have seen so far. She over reacted but those security officers will rot in jail that's for sure. Why blocking her from coming down? Ibom Air should tender unreserved apology immediately. What nonsense
Nobody blocked her from coming down. She refused coming down. Some are even saying that the air hostess stopped her from disembarking. If this is true, she should have stood up to disembark immediately those security people came but she chose to fight everyone including the security agents

So for assaulting a cabin crew member,they naked her instead of jst asking her to coke down n directing her to security. Remember all d passengers hav disembarked so there was no way she wont come down at her destination. As far as m concerned, airport thugs were called to drag her down embarrassingly
what did she think will happen struggling against the masses? Na she naked herself

Post by passenger has contradicted what the public was made to believe in the incident involving Ibom Air cabin crew and a passenger a passenger posted online what actually happened

According to a post by a passenger Tunde Ibrahim the Cabin crew got physical with the lady first by pushing her to her seat when she tried to get down after the aircraft landed.

“ I was on boardIt was the crew member that resisted the lady from coming down because of put off phone ar no put off phone.


The lady told the crew that her phone was already on flight mode
After landing they refused to allov the lady from coming down saying they have called the airport securi to pick her up.
Infact they push the lady back on seat for many of us to pass”
This supposed X poster's disjointed testimonial should be taken with a pinch of salt. This looks like something posted from a fake account.

What is the aource of this lie or we are to just believe your nonsense because you cut a post like lpob normally do n added a Yoruba name ?
I stated this same skepticism just now before even seeing your post. There's something totally inconsistent and FAKE about that post.

Both sides were wrong. airline security were completely unprofessional (by posting the woman nudes online and the way she was restrained). they need proper training on ways to properly restrain an unruly passenger. they should have been there before any person disembark from the plane and should have gone straight to her seat and have her cuffed behind her back.

The final power lies in the flight crew.
if she was asked to switch off her phones she must obey that order disobeying that lawful order is an offence. it is irrelavant if the phone is put on flight mode or not. if the order was your phone should be switched off or put on flight mode. then you could do any.
Impressive takes and a balanced POV.

You're practically the ONLY one on this thread who made the most sense and you truly understand what happened based off of the credible 4 FULL videos I watched on IG and YouTube just two days ago which revealed that female passenger's unruly and violent actions onboard the Air Ibom aircraft. I fly frequently by air and I abhor such kinds of insidious behaviors from IRRESPONSIBLE people like that.

Beremx:
At least she should have worn a bra. How can she wear such skimpy top without a bra? How can one embark on a journey like that without dressing properly?

I was really ashamed on her behalf watching the video
Succinctly stated. It was that female passenger's violent actions of resistance when the airport security men came to arrest her (after the pilot had earlier contacted the security men to deboard her) that led to her cleavages popping right out of her top wear which got torn in full camera view based on the 4 FULL video I watched on IG and YouTube. It's obvious that the Comfort Emmanson girl was ignorant of in-flight protocols and was also engaged in substance use hence that violence and near-psychotic behavior.

However, this is a wake up call to properly equip the airport security men with tasers, and more handcuffs to properly restrain unruly passengers like that girl so that other lone wolves or terror groups don't take advantage of some of the inneficiences in the airport security protocol.

She isn't innocent, she was told to switch her phone off, not asked to put it in aircraft mode. She then had to be repeatedly told to do so and still refused.

The airline was at fault stopping her getting off and dragging her out as it is the police that should do that. However to call the little rat innocent is going to far. Hopefully, next time she travels by road or sea, she doesn't have to switch her precious phone off then?
@aswani

LARGELY well said. The last paragraph cracked me up.

BUT then, the pilot had earlier contacted the airport security men to deboard her which is the standard way to deal with unruly passengers on board most commercial aircraft. The security men didn't come in the nick of time hence it gave that girl the time to get more unruly and she gave the air hostess a hot slap in the face. She also held on to the curtain and got violent and resisted arrest by the airport security men when they finally arrived. This led to her forcible removal due to her resistance and her b@@bs spilled right out of her torn top due to her violent resistance to being deborded.

Na for you ooh! in as much as KWAM 1 action is condemnable and deserves retribution by law, does not in any stretch of imagination constitute an hijack!

Hijacking, as defined in aviation law, requires the unlawful seizure or exercise of control over an aircraft while it is in flight.

KWAM 1 was involved in an incident at the airport where he allegedly obstructed the aircraft's movement and had a heated exchange with airport officials.

KWAM 1's Actions:
KWAM 1 was involved in an incident at the airport where he allegedly obstructed the aircraft's movement and had a heated exchange with airport officials.

Not Onboard:
Crucially, KWAM 1 was not onboard the aircraft when the incident occurred.

Aviation Violations:
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is investigating the incident as a potential violation of aviation regulations, not as hijacking.

Terrorism Allegations:
Some have labeled KWAM 1's actions as terrorism, but this is an overstatement, especially given that he was not on board the aircraft and did not take control of it.
In essence, while KWAM 1's actions were disruptive and potentially dangerous, they do not meet the legal definition of hijacking.
Very well emphasized FACTS.

yes they do operate under aviation law and it is not the same everywhere in the world although there are similarities. have you read the ncaa act 2022 section 85 and ncar section 17.97. ? i can send you relevant sections screenshot if needed.

does not matter what cause he was fighting for he was uunruly and disrupted airline operations which is an offence. there are legal ways one can channel their grieviances which he could have explored

i perfectly understand that putting your phone on flight mode is as good as putting your phone off. but the flight crew lawfull instructions to you are final.

i have seen someone who was forcefully removed from their seat and arrested for refusing to change seat when he was told to do so by the flight crew. he was seating on the row close to the emmergency exit and did not understand english.
read the prior post https://www.nairaland.com/8496044/ibom-air-fracas-other-passengers#136425850
Indeed. This is a reality that will reset the brain cells of ignorant people and passengers who have NO knowledge of flight protocols.
Re: IBOM AIR FRACAS : Other Passengers Narrative Contradicts Airline by Konquest: 6:18am On Aug 13, 2025
Pythagoras001:
you seem to be missing the point. The flight crew are the final authority on the aircraft. If 99 local airline do not require you to switch of your device is completely irrelevant here. The question is did she disobey orders from the flight crew to switch her phone off during take off or landing. If yes she committed an offence if no she did not. Did she assault/batter flight crew/airport security if yes she has committed an offence if no she has not. Ignorance of the law is no excuse that was why I pointed you in my previous post to read prior legislation and regulation. That the laws was not enforced on Mr A is not a defence when it is enforced on Mr B the only issue is that it is immoral and create the impression that some are above the law. I repeat again read the act and regulation I quoted earlier. Yes I know not switching off your phone does not affect air craft safety but You most obey all safety instructions from the flight crew refusal to do so is an offence.

Pythagoras001:
at this point i think you are deliberating deflecting. how is the bolded relevant to the offence which she herself has committed.

between the flight crew have every right to detain her and in my earlier post i talked about the proper way to restrain the passenger. and i repeat for emphasis the flight crew should have contacted air control before they landed security should have been waiting for the plane before it taxiied to a stop nobody would be allowed to disembark from the plane untill airport security has entered into the plane identified the lady and have are are cuffed so as to prevent the messy situation. Their delay and allowing people to disembark is probably was caused the entire fiasco

the point i initially made was that she commited several offences and she could be charged .
if she has video evidence or wittnesses that the flight attendant assualted/battered her she has the option to press charge against her for assault/battery .
she also can sue or bring criminal charges against the people who published/reshared or are in poession of her nude photos online . i made this point clear in an earlier post

for anyone who flies regularly please obey every safety instructions of the flight crew/ airport staff locally or internationally disobedience and been unruly is an offence.

if you feel agrrieved for any reason use all available legal channels at your disposal instead of taking laws into your own hands . everything no be by gra gra and this do you know who am i syndrome.

i rest my case
Nicely put.

Good morning sir, you were one of the people whose take on the matter I was looking out for and I am somewhat reassured that our thoughts on the incident are not too dissimilar.

On a more concerning note is the preponderance of mainly younger females on here brazenly posting about how the airline had to right to tell her to switch off her phone and trying to say she had put it in flight mode as mitigation. I know it is the phone that is the focus as they can't do without it for even a minute.

Some even suggested because they are not told to switch off their phones on more modern aircrafts run by international airlines, they shouldn't have to on any other flights.

We seem to have a wider moral issue in this country I now feel. In more saner earlier times, if your parents knew your teacher had disciplined you, part two was waiting for you at home.

I fear the pendulum has swung and too far too, instructions are now things to be forcefully challenged including ones to do with the safety of yours and others. How exactly did we get to this point I ask?

To paraphrase the baird himself, "Shame, where art thou?"

That video clip were her oversized mamaries (whose attention from men I suspect is part of the reason for her lack of regard for authority) were exposed for the world to see apparently didn't show where she also assaulted ground staff in continuation of her bad behaviour.

I am hopeful that the one good thing people will learn from this sordid encounter is that they need to follow simple instructions, especially concerning their precious phones. I won't be betting any money on that though.

Greetings again.

Your post is a class-act.

You stated what is CLEARLY wrong with the emerging society of young people.

There are rules that I simply like to follow for the sake of societal orderliness. Flight instructions, medical instructions, and Police instructions (No matter what, obey the law) because safety is critical in life.

Indeed, I have watched 4 different FULL videos (showing the girl's violent behavior on the Air Ibom and after being denorded) from IG and YouTube which I posted on one of the threads just yesterday in order to get a proper hang of what happened on that flight with that unruly female passenger because as usual I knew that FALSE rumors and disinformation would start flying around from some hungry bloggers and paid ipob troll farms.


Comfort Emmanson to me was definitely involved in "substance use" due to her violent actions of slapping the air hostess, using the extinguisher to destroy some things on board, and violently resisting arrest with led to her top being torn and her cleavages popping out while she was throwing wild tantrums. All these were captured right in the videos.

NEXT time though, I hope the security men will be using tasers and handcuffs to simply immobilize any unruly passenger in any flight. The Kwam 1 ValuJet scenerio and that female passenger's Air Ibom unruliness are a blessing in disguise for Nigeria to quickly upgrade the gadgets that airport security men use as part of standard international aviation protocols.


I appreciate your insights here.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you.

Just a quick one for you to further ponder on. Do you remember the then 21-year-old Chidinma girl who stabbed Michael Usifo Ataga the Super TV boss to death in Lekki and stole his ATM, money and laptop which she insidiouly sold off at Computer Village in Ikeja? She was using hard drugs as well (weeds inclusive). It's important to NEVER trust ALL innocent-looking men and women. Some could by psychos.

I do remember that story.

To be fair, I won't condider weed a hard drug, I don't toke by the way, as I have been around people that smoke it and it seems to make them chilled.

In fact I knew a guy we played set with that was naturally aggressive, as soon as we all sat down after the games and the blazing cannabis was passed round amongst those interested, his funnier, much more pleasant side kicked in.

Maybe if you mix it with other things sha, you start losing your bearings and all hell breaks lose. That I don't know.

Lol. Indeed, some folks have a strong tolerance to these substances while other lose their bearings especially when mixed with more substances.

I was gleaning through some NDLEA raw data and the figures aren't looking good for Nigeria in parts of Lagos, up North, the Owerri area and more due to the deadly methamphetamine (ice) penetration of higher institutions by the South East hard drugs cartels according to the NDLEA

I marvel at how our mental health have been deprived from Nigerians due to various hardship and life struggles. We now see things that are not normal to be normal. On what ground should it be justified that you by omission or commission naked a lady without her consent and still have the temerity to post such online. Who justifies this? Is this normal? Until the chicken comes home to roost, you will always justify nonsense.

Since you have called the airport security, why not allow her alight? Can she just escape like that from the Airport? If yes, this shows the airport is not even secure to be used as Airport.

If you support this show of shame by Ibom Airline, then you are deprived.

What is the offense to put hand cuffs on her!!!!!
