Nigeria Aviation Minister Fesus Cayamo
0:03
says the ministry has directed for the
0:05
aviation staff who released the video
0:08
footage containing the aspect of an
0:09
Ibomb Airlines passenger comfort eman or
0:13
Bob seen in an indecent appearance with
0:15
her chest sexual organs exposed after
0:18
the passenger shirt was torn by an Ibomb
0:20
Airlines staff while security operatives
0:23
were seen in the viral video dragging
0:25
the agrieved passenger out of the
0:27
aircraft following an act of confront.
0:29
confrontation between the passenger and
0:31
Ibomb Airlines hostesses which one of
0:34
the hostesses blocked the right of way
0:36
of the passenger and prevented the
0:37
passenger from disembarking from the
0:39
plane and after countless warning to the
0:41
airline passenger to leave the road. The
0:44
passenger went physical with the hostess
0:46
by allegedly slapping her on the face,
0:48
which the confrontation with the hostess
0:50
apparently led to the alleged
0:51
destruction of the plane divider cotton,
0:54
which Hbomb Airlines valued at $2,500
0:57
as stated in count five of the fivecount
1:00
charges the police filed against the
1:02
passenger at a Kedar magistrate court in
1:04
Lagos State. The aviation minister Fesus
1:08
Cayamo who described the behavior of the
1:10
passenger as unruly said although the
1:13
airline staff is right to video record
1:15
the event of the passengers's behavior
1:17
for the purpose of legal action but it
1:20
is totally unacceptable for the staff to
1:22
release part of the video that exposed
1:24
the passenger's nakedness especially her
1:26
breasts. Details of the minister
1:28
statement reads verbatim below, "Enough
1:31
is enough. Reading the riot act on
1:34
aviation safety and security in
1:36
reference to the case of unruly comfort
1:38
bob on Ibomb airline and related
1:40
incidents." Earlier today, we again woke
1:43
up to viral videos of a female passenger
1:45
on Ibomb airline, now identified as
1:48
Comfort Manson or Comfort Bob, who went
1:50
berserk and physically assaulted both
1:52
the flight crew and the ground staff.
1:55
The incident took place yesterday,
1:57
August 10th, 2025 on Ibomb Airline
2:00
flight number Q 153 from Ouyo to Lagos
2:04
at about 1454 hours. Ibomb Airline has
2:08
since issued a statement to provide some
2:11
context to the effect that the whole
2:12
unfortunate incident arose because of
2:14
the refusal of the passenger to switch
2:16
off her phone during takeoff as required
2:19
by extant international civil aviation
2:23
Consequently, in the last few hours, I
2:26
have been speaking with the commissioner
2:27
of police of the airport police command,
2:30
the DG of the NCAA and his team, the MD
2:33
of FAN and her team, the COO of Ibomb
2:36
Air and his team about the incident.
2:39
Apart from the indefinite flight ban
2:41
imposed on the said unruly passenger
2:43
both local and international by the
2:46
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA
2:50
the police has promptly arraigned her
2:52
this morning at the Aeda magistrate's
2:54
court for criminal offenses and remanded
2:56
her at Kirk Kiri prisons as she could
2:58
not provide adequate shities in court. I
3:01
have attached the charge sheet and
3:03
remand order for clarity. We also note
3:06
the scuffle that took place between the
3:08
unruly passenger and ground personnel
3:10
before she was eventually subdued. This
3:13
was because of her uncooperative
3:15
attitude. Whilst we support the filming
3:17
of her recalcitrant behavior as evidence
3:19
to prosecute her, what is deplorable is
3:22
to release such evidence containing
3:24
indecent exposure to the public to
3:26
ridicule her. That is totally
3:28
unacceptable to us. We will not fold our
3:31
arms and tolerate the debasing of
3:33
womanhood. I have therefore directed
3:35
that whoever released that part of the
3:37
video containing the indecent exposure
3:40
amongst the staff should be singled out
3:42
and adequately sanctioned. I have also
3:44
directed that the airlines must continue
3:47
to train and retrain their staff in
3:49
public relations and how to deal with
3:51
potentially explosive situations in
3:53
order to diffuse them promptly or nip
3:55
them in the bud except when it becomes
3:58
inevitable. I have also directed a joint
4:01
security meeting between relevant
4:03
agencies next week for better
4:05
coordination of security measures in
4:07
situations like this or similar ones we
4:09
witnessed recently. For genuinely
4:12
agrieved passengers, there are clearly
4:14
laid down remedies to address
4:16
grievances. The Consumer Protection
4:19
Directorate of the NCAA has consistently
4:22
advertised these remedies and there is
4:24
no point trying to take the laws into
4:26
one's hands that may lead to dire
4:29
We will continue to apply equal
4:31
sanctions available to us in aviation on
4:34
any such erring passengers that is
4:36
lengthy flight bans and report the
4:38
matters to other law enforcement
4:39
agencies to do their bit within their
4:42
powers. We had reproached that a careful
4:44
study of the viral video involving the
4:46
Ibomb airline personnel, Lagos airport
4:49
security operatives and an agrieved
4:51
passenger, Comfort Eman on board the
4:54
airline plane on Sunday, indicated that
4:56
while the enraged passenger was being
4:59
dragged off the plane by three men who
5:02
held her two hands and legs, suspending
5:04
her a little bit on the air, a lady
5:06
putting on Ibomb Air corporate clothes
5:08
who was behind the camera lens could be
5:10
seen in the video to have a approached
5:12
the passenger at the door point of the
5:14
plane while the passenger was about to
5:17
be taken out, apparently dipped her hand
5:19
towards the waist part of the passenger,
5:21
untucked the passenger shirt from the
5:23
trousers, grabbed and pulled the
5:25
passenger's shirt towards her head and
5:27
in the process the passenger shirt got
5:29
tore and the passenger's chest sexual
5:32
organs or private parts were completely
5:34
exposed. The action of the Ibomb airline
5:37
staff appeared to be deliberate as the
5:39
airline female staff was not part of
5:41
those dragging the passenger off the
5:43
aircraft. And after the female
5:45
passenger's body was exposed, the Ibam
5:47
Airlines female staff never joined or
5:50
assisted the security operatives to drag
5:52
the passenger off the plane. This
5:54
indicated that the motive of the female
5:56
staff of Imam Airline was solely to
5:58
remove the passenger shirt and expose
6:01
the agrieved airline passenger to
6:23
I want to go out and hear is standing on
