There is still no peace in sight after nearly 3 hours of meeting held in Anchorage City in Alaska, a state in the
0:37
United States, US between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President
0:42
Donald Trump of the United States. Over the war, Russia launched since 2022 in
0:47
Ukraine, which has led to thousands of deaths, mostly Ukrainians, which President Vladimir Zalinski of Ukraine,
0:54
who was not invited for the meeting on Friday in a statement, said that it was time to end the war, but Russia must
1:01
take the necessary steps to a genuine peace deal. And while commenting on the statement made by the president of
1:07
Poland, Carol Navoki on Friday via exocial media platform to mark Poland
1:12
armed forces day which coincided with the day Putin and Trump met in Alaska.
1:17
President Zalinski said that Ukraine's independence strengthens Poland's independence and we must always remember
1:24
that the miracle on the Vistula was made possible through joint efforts and it saved Europe and the Polish president
1:31
Carol Navoki had said that today we celebrate the 105th anniversary of the
1:36
great Polish victory at the battle of Warsaw in 1920. The Polish army together
1:42
with Ukrainian forces successfully repelled the Red Army's westward march, safeguarding Europe from a communist
1:48
revolution. For centuries, Russian imperialism has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland's political
1:55
tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of domestic desperatism in which the only
2:02
free man is the ruler himself. But precisely because Russian desperatism is the enemy of freedom, Russian
2:08
imperialism can only be defeated through an alliance of free peoples. My nation
2:13
halted Russian imperialism at Osha 1514, Clashido 1,610
2:20
and Warsaw 1920. It was probably a signature of world attention when Air Force One and Russia
2:27
presidential aircraft officially wheeled down a joint base Elundorf as President Donald Trump and President Vladimir
2:34
Putin met face to face for the first time since the war in Ukraine started on February 24th, 2022. And the Friday
2:42
meeting marked the first time President Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on Western country soil since he launched
2:48
the war against Ukraine. He was able to meet Trump in Alaska because the US is
2:54
not a member country of the International Criminal Court IC that issued a warrant of arrest against the
3:00
Kremlin leader since 2023 over alleged war crime in Ukraine. It would be
3:05
recalled that the Russian president Vladimir Putin did not attend the 2025
3:10
annual Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa summit known as BRICS
3:16
summit in Brazil due to concerns over an international criminal court warrant for his arrest in connection with alleged
3:23
war crimes committed in Ukraine. According to the Kremlin aid Yuri Ashikov, President Vladimir Putin did
3:30
not attend the summit due to certain difficulties in the context of the ICC requirement. Adding in that context, the
3:39
Brazilian government could not take a clear position that would allow our president to participate in this
3:44
meeting. Instead, the Russian leader joined his BRICS colleagues via video link. Putin was declared a war crimes
3:51
suspect since the ICC named him in a March 2023 arrest warrant over the mass
3:57
deportation of Ukrainian children. Russia stands accused of abducting and deporting tens of thousands of Ukrainian
4:04
children with many victims reportedly subjected to ideological indoctrination to rob them of the Ukrainian heritage
4:11
and impose a Russian national identity. The alleged mass abductions, according
4:16
to observers, may qualify as genocide, according to the 1948 United Nations
4:22
Genocide Convention, which identifies forcibly transferring children of the group to another group as one of five
4:29
internationally recognized acts of genocide. As a signary to the Rome
4:35
Statute that established the IC, Brazil would have been obliged to arrest Putin if he entered the country. Addressing
4:42
the ICC warrant in 2023, Brazilian President Louisis in Orocholu Ladar
4:47
Silva initially dismissed talk of detaining the Russian president before backtracking and distancing himself from
4:54
the issue. If Putin decides to go to Brazil, it's the justice system that will take the decision over whether he
5:00
should be arrested, not the government or Congress, Lula stated. Putin faced
5:06
similar uncertainty two years ago ahead of the annual gathering of BRICS leaders which was then being hosted by South
5:12
Africa. The South African authorities reportedly came under considerable pressure from their Russian colleagues
5:19
to provide assurances that the Kremlin dictator could travel to the August 2023
5:24
event without fear of arrest. Russia has made it clear that arresting its sitting
5:29
president would be a declaration of war. South African President Siril Ramaposa stated then in the buildup to the
5:36
summit. The African country was ultimately unable to offer any guarantees forcing Putin to abandon his
5:43
plans to attend the summit in South Africa. Fox News reported that the Russian president Vladimir Putin makes a
5:50
rare public appearance at a monument honoring US cooperation during World War II just hours before his summit with
5:57
President Trump on Friday. And after the summit in Alaska, local media showed a
6:03
video of President Putin kneeling at every Soviet pilot grave in Alaska. As
6:08
both leaders met on the tarmac of the US military base airport, a flyover of
6:13
American military planes passed overhead, including fighter jets and what appeared to be AB2 stealth bomber.
6:20
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin emerged from a nearly 3-hour meeting on the Ukraine war
6:27
and gave public statements, but left without announcing any agreement or ceasefire, and they refused to take
6:33
questions from the press. US fighter jets were seen escorting Vladimir Putin's plane out of Alaska after the
6:40
summit with Trump. The Kremlin posted a video on Telegram appearing to show at least two USF22 fighter jets escorting
6:48
the Russian president's plane out of Alaska following talks with Donald Trump. There's no deal until there's a
6:54
deal, Trump said. The White House had said there would be a news conference after the closed door meeting, but both
7:01
men walked off stage without taking any questions. Trump hosted the summit at a
7:07
military base in Alaska in an audacious bid to broker a peace deal and stop a three-year war with Ukraine and its ever
7:13
rising body count. It was not immediately clear what was agreed upon in the talks. We didn't get there, but
7:21
we have a very good chance of getting there, Trump said. President Donald
7:26
Trump added via a post that a great and very successful day in Alaska. It was
7:31
determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace
7:38
agreement. President Zalinski will be coming to DC, the Oval Office on Monday.
7:44
While President Putin and Trump were on the way to meet in Alaska, Vadimir Zalinski of Ukraine in a number of press
7:51
statements made available via his verified exocial media account said he
7:56
held a staff meeting to discuss three key issues. the front, particularly the
8:02
Pocrosk sector. We are countering the attempts of Russian forces to gain a foothold and increasing the pressure of
8:08
our units on the occupier. We are succeeding. Units of the 79th and 82nd
8:14
Air Assault Brigades are operating very effectively in the Doorilia area. Today,
8:20
a decision was made to further reinforce this and other areas in the Dest region.
8:25
Special attention was paid to positions in the Zaporia region. I thank all our warriors for their resilience. The
8:33
Russian army continues to suffer significant losses in its attempts to secure more favorable political
8:38
positions for the Russian leadership at the meeting in Alaska. We understand this plan and are informing our partners
8:45
about the real situation. We also discussed today the development of the contract system in the defense forces
8:52
and the funding of Ukraine's defense and security forces for 2025 2026.
8:59
Under any circumstances, our army will be ready to respond effectively and swiftly to threats to Ukrainian
9:05
statethood. The priority is the development of a contract army. Today I
9:11
also expect a report from our intelligence on the current intentions of the Russian side and its preparations
9:17
for the meeting in Alaska. Indeed, high stakes. The key thing is that this
9:22
meeting should open up a real path toward a just peace and a substantive discussion between leaders in a
9:28
trilateral format. Ukraine, the United States, and the Russian side. It is time
9:34
to end the war and the necessary steps must be taken by Russia. We are counting
9:40
on America. We are ready as always to work as productively as possible. I held
9:46
a meeting with the government team, the office, and the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council to
9:52
discuss our diplomatic work, the highest priority areas. In particular, we
9:58
address the funding of Ukraine's defense forces, auditing the effectiveness of coalitions with partners, special
10:04
formats, the substance of our bilateral relations in key global areas, and our
10:09
work at the EU level. I instructed that the foreign policy plan be updated for
10:14
the period through the end of the year. On Monday, I expect the updated plan to
10:20
be presented with a neighbor like Russia. Only the cooperation of free nations can effectively protect each of
10:26
them. We value Poland's support for Ukraine. Ukraine's independence
10:32
strengthens Poland's independence. And we must always remember that the miracle on the Vistula was made possible through
10:38
joint efforts and it saved Europe. In the same way, Ukrainians have been
10:44
defending our state in the full-scale war for 4 years. By repelling the Russian army in Ukraine, near Kev, in
10:51
the Sunumi, Kharkiv, and Donesk regions, as well as in the Black Sea, Ukrainians
10:57
are truly ensuring the opportunity for all Europeans to live freely, free of Moscow's madness. I thank Poland for
11:04
walking along this path shoulderto-shoulder with us. Congratulations on Polish Armed Forces
11:11
Day and best wishes for our and your independence to always remain strong. President Carol Navi of Poland had said
11:18
that today we celebrate the 105th anniversary of the great Polish victory
11:23
at the Battle of Warsaw in 1920. The Polish army together with Ukrainian
11:29
forces successfully repelled the Red Army's westward march, safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For
11:36
centuries, Russian imperialism has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland's
11:42
political tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of domestic desperatism in which the only
11:48
free man is the ruler himself. But precisely because Russian desperatism is the enemy of freedom. Russian
11:55
imperialism can only be defeated through an alliance of free peoples. My nation
12:00
halted Russian imperialism at Orcha 1514. Clashino 1,610
12:07
and Warsaw 1920. The Polish people know that resisting Russian imperialism is
12:13
not merely an economic matter. It concerns the very essence of human and national freedom. Freedom is priceless.
12:21
It can neither be bought nor sold. It must be defended. This is the Polish tradition stretching back to the 15th
12:28
century. I invite all who cherish freedom and peace to join my fellow Poles on August 15th in celebrating the
12:36
halting of desperatism and the defense of liberty
12:54
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Co-contestants in the last concluded general elections in Nigeria
13:01
and former governor of an amber state Peter Obi has faulted President Bola Ahmed Tonubu trip to Brazil and also
13:08
condemned the president frequent travel abroad at any slightest invitation and abandoned pressing issues of insecurity
13:15
and other deplorable situations that make the nation bleeds. Specifically Peter Obi said the situation we find
13:23
ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our president, who has not found it worthy to visit any of our troubled states,
13:30
takes joy in traveling to foreign countries at the slightest invitation or excuse, often departing several days,
13:36
even before the events he's invited to. The presidency had in a statement on Wednesday said that President Bolanu
13:44
will depart Abuja on Thursday, August 14th for a two-nation trip to Japan and
13:49
Brazil. The president will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates before
13:55
proceeding to Japan. In Japan, President Tonubu will attend the 9th Tokyo
14:00
International Conference on African Development, TICAD9, in the city of Yokohama from August 20th
14:08
to 22 with the theme co-create innovative solutions with Africa. TICAD9
14:14
will focus on Africa's economic transformation and improvements in the business environment and institutions
14:20
through private investment and innovation. It will also promote a resilient and sustainable African
14:26
society for human security, peace and stability. In addition to attending
14:32
plenary sessions on themes linked to the conference, the Nigerian president will hold bilateral meetings and meet the
14:39
chief executive offices of some Japanese companies with investments in Nigeria.
14:44
Initiated in 1993 by the Japanese government and co-hosted by the United
14:49
Nations, UNDP, the African Union Commission and the World Bank, TICAD, is
14:56
a trienal conference held alternately in Japan and Africa. The last one took
15:01
place in August 2022 in Tunisia. The forum fosters high level policy dialogue
15:07
between African leaders and development partners. At the end of the TICAD9,
15:14
President Tonubu will leave for Brazilia, the capital of the Federated Republic of Brazil on a 2-day state
15:20
visit from Sunday, August 24th to Monday, August 25th. This follows an
15:26
invitation by the Brazilian president Luis Anatio Lula Dar Silva. While in
15:32
Brazil, President Tanubu will hold a bilateral meeting with his host and attend a business forum with Brazilian
15:38
investors. His delegation comprising key ministers and senior officials will
15:44
explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign agreements and memorand of understanding mouse with the
15:51
Brazilian government. Beo Onuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy stated on August 13th,
15:58
2025. Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last concluded general
16:05
elections in the West Africa country in a statement on Thursday said, "Again,
16:10
our president moves as the nation bleeds. Amid the deplorable state of our nation in all ramifications, we have a
16:17
virtually indifferent president who has continued to display insensitivity to our situation. How can anyone explain
16:25
that a president who came from Brazil recently and met with the president is returning to the same country, leaving
16:31
the various degrees of challenges at home unresolved. The latest itinerary of
16:36
the president shows he will depart Abuja on Thursday, August 14th for a two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil. The
16:44
president will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before proceeding to Japan. In Japan, President Tonubu
16:52
will attend the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development, TICAD9,
16:58
in the city of Yokohama from August 20th to 22. The itinerary is silent on the
17:04
president's return date to his visibly troubled nation. The situation we find
17:09
ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our president, who has not found it worthy
17:14
to visit any of our troubled states, takes joy in traveling to foreign countries at the slightest invitation or
17:21
excuse. Often departing several days, even before the events he's invited to.
17:26
In his last trip, for instance, he had a oneweek state visit to St. Nio before
17:32
attending the bricks summit where Nigeria was merely invited as an observer though the role was dressed up
17:38
as partner to the invitation which was more significant. The leaders of actual
17:43
member countries who attended only arrived a day or two at most for the event. Nigeria's insecurity situation,
17:51
economic hardship and human suffering have reached their peak. We are now counted among the most insecure nations,
17:59
the most fragile economies, and the hungriest countries in the world. This dire reality demands the full attention
18:06
of Mr. President, and his travels should be more within our troubled states and communities, spending time on the
18:13
ground, and taking decisive action to alleviate the people's suffering rather than these overseas conferences that
18:19
contribute little or no tangible value to our nation's woes. And where the trip
18:24
is necessary at all, it could be attended in just a few days rather than indulging in prolonged unnecessary
18:31
absences from a country that requires 247 attention. What our nation needs now
18:37
is security of lives and properties, economic stability, and ensuring that our people have food on their table. Our
18:44
president's planned trip of 12 days departing today, if necessary, should have been at most a 5-day trip, as the
18:51
event he was invited to in Japan, commences on the 20th. Nigeria today
18:56
demands competent leadership with capacity and compassion to start dealing with the problems besetting it with the
19:02
presence and sacrifice required. Mr. President must, as a matter of urgency,
19:08
commence tours of our states with the same enthusiasm he shows for jetting out of the country every month. These visits
19:15
will enable him to see, listen, and learn more about what Nigerians are going through. Though Nigerians know
19:22
that our huge problems cannot be solved overnight, they want to see 100% effort
19:28
and tireless commitment to solving them. Most importantly, our president must
19:33
know that he's not a tourist, but the chief executive of a troubled nation. So, he must have consciousness, strict
19:39
work schedules, and a strict traveling schedule to show that he has a troubled country to quickly return to.
19:48
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. Federal government of Nigeria under
19:54
the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has ordered the commissioner of police in charge of Lagos airport to
20:00
withdraw the one-sided and obviously biased court case the Nigeria police force may have wrongly instituted
20:06
against an Ibomb Air passenger comfort eman who was seen in viral videos
20:12
retaliating and defending herself physically after a group of Ibomb air personnel and Lagos airport team had
20:18
attacked her and provoked her to action. The FG position on the issue was made known by the Nigeria Minister of
20:25
Aviation Fesus Cayamo in a press release the minister signed and made available
20:31
few minutes ago. Although Fesus Cayamo reversed himself and acknowledged that the issue was a case of confrontation
20:38
between the 26 years old passenger and the staff of Ibomb Airlines who in the
20:43
new press release admitted that the staff of Ibomb Air and the Lagos airport authority team acted wrongly. But the
20:50
minister did not state how the attacked passenger would be compensated most especially when her chest sexual organs
20:57
were seems to be deliberately exposed after a suspected Ibomb Airlines staff pulled off and tore the passenger shirt
21:04
with obvious intention to expose the passengers nakedness. The action of the federal government may ease the tension
21:10
among millions of people who have accused the Nigeria police force of aiding and abetting the Ibomb airline
21:17
company to continue to attack and oppress the offended passenger. Comfort Bob who is also identified as comfort
21:24
emanen by thus supporting the statement of Ibomb air management who in their first press release made statement that
21:31
seems to have some level of deliberate falsehood and raising up a dead issue to win undue public sentiments manipulate
21:38
the Nigeria police force to help them secure detention holding charge from the Lagos state magistrate court to further
21:45
oppress and intimidate the attacked passenger specifically Ibamair stated in her first press release that shortly
21:52
after the plane landed at Lagos airport, the passenger waited for every other passenger on board the plane to
21:58
disembark and thereafter without provocation went to one of the plane hostesses Juliana Edward the Ibomb air
22:05
management described as Perser stepped on her forcibly tore off her wig removed
22:11
her glasses and threw it to the floor and used her footwear to assault her. She slapped her several times and when
22:17
the other cabin crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She then attempted to forcibly remove a fire
22:24
extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and grounded the aircraft. Soon after the Ibomb Air
22:31
Management released the statement on Monday, a video surfaced on the internet that probably invalidated the statement
22:38
of the Ibomb Air Management and stood out as an acceptable evidence that the management of Ibomb Air are people who
22:44
may be rightly described as pathological liars who probably believed in telling lies as a way of managing crisis and
22:51
handling difficult customers relations as seen in the viral video that surfaced the internet after the apparent
22:58
falsehood of Ibomb Air Management. ment the attacked passenger was seen politely telling the air hostess Juliana Edward
23:05
to leave the doorway so that she can disembark from the plane the senior aggressor in this matter the air hostess
23:11
Juliana Edward refused to yield to the appeal of the passenger and Ibomb air management in their first press release
23:18
confirmed that the air hostess Juliana Edward deliberately blocked the doorway to prevent the passenger from
23:24
disembarking the aircraft and in the viral video the attached wig hair on the head of the air host Justice was still
23:30
seen on her head and intact while the passenger was telling her to leave the doorway so that she can pass. Obviously,
23:36
this is in contrary to the seemingly deliberate falsehood painted and stated in black and white by the Ibomb Air
23:43
Management that the air hostess attached wig hair was destroyed by the passenger without provocation. Also, the attached
23:50
wig hair on the passenger head and the jacket sheet she was putting on was still intact as at the time she was
23:55
telling the apparent aggressor, the air hostess to leave the door. And another viral video later showed both the air
24:02
hostess and the passenger dragging at the point of the plane divider cotton. And at this time, as seen in the video,
24:08
both the passenger and air hostess wig hair were pulled off, including the passenger jacket she was putting on to
24:14
cover her body completely. The natural hair on their heads could now be seen as they continued to drag each other at the
24:21
plane doorway. And Ibomb Air Management, in trying to seemly win undue public sentiments, raised up a dead issue of a
24:28
minor quarrel the passenger had with the air hostess and co-passenger over the passenger alleged initial refusal to
24:35
switch off her phone during the plane takeoff at Ouyo airport. The Ibomb Air management in the press release
24:41
confirmed that the minor quarrel the passenger had with the air hostess and co-passenger over switching off phone at
24:48
Ouyo airport was already a dead issue and the action of the passenger never led to threat of aviation safety or
24:54
violation of aviation safety procedures. Hence, the passenger was not deplaneed at UYO airport. But we don't know why
25:01
the management of Ibomb Air decided to advertise and bring up the minor quarrel as a way to seemly win public sentiments
25:08
to cover up the true picture of a separate event that occurred between the passenger and the air hostess when the
25:14
plane landed at Lagos airport. and the Nigeria Police Force in the fivecount charges filed against the passenger at
25:21
the Aeda Magistrate Court in Lagos State did not state or even mention the event
25:26
that occurred at Ouyo airport before the plane took off. Announcing the withdrawal day early morning, the
25:33
Nigeria Minister of Aviation, Fesus Cayamo said and in quotes that one, "In
25:40
the last 48 hours, I have been in consultation with critical stakeholders in the aviation sector and those
25:46
involved in the unfortunate incidents regarding the unruly behaviors of certain individuals at our airports of
25:52
recent. Two, though regrettable, we think valuable lessons have been learned
25:58
by all sides to these incidents and airport security protocol especially
26:03
have been well highlighted for the traveling public. If nothing at all, the episodes have undoubtedly helped to
26:09
raise public awareness about appropriate conduct within the aviation space.
26:14
Three, as highlighted in my previous statements on the last two incidents, clear wrongs were committed by both the
26:21
offending passengers and staff of the airlines involved from all the evidence available to us and those available to
26:27
the public. It is clear that all the actors involved cannot continue to highlight the injury or injustice done
26:34
to them without acknowledging their own equal culpability. Five. Therefore, after reviewing the
26:40
entire incidents, including appeals made by well-meaning individuals and remorse shown by the actors, the following
26:47
decisions have been reached. A in the case of the unruly passenger, Comfort
26:52
Eman airline on Sunday the 10th of August 2025, I have conferred with Ibomb
27:00
airline to withdraw the complaint against her today. When the police took her statement in presence of her lawyer,
27:06
she exhibited great remorse for her conduct. B. Subsequent to the withdrawal
27:12
of the complaint by the complainant, the CP of airport command and the police prosecutor will immediately take the
27:18
remaining steps to facilitate her release from Kirk Kiri prisons within this week. C. I have also conferred with
27:26
the leadership of the airline operators of Nigeria AON and have appealed to them to lift the lifetime flying ban imposed
27:33
on her to which they agreed. The details of the resolution will be made public by
27:38
the AON subsequently. B. In the case of Quam 1, the NCAA is to reduce his flight
27:45
ban to a 1-month period. FA will also work with the music star with a view to
27:51
engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward.
27:57
E having publicly demonstrated penitence, the NCAA is also to withdraw
28:02
its criminal complaints against Quam 1 earlier lodged with the police. F. In
28:08
the case of Captain Olaranti Agoy and the co-pilot, first officer Ivan Oliver
28:13
of Value Jet, the NCAA is to restore their licenses after the same period of
28:18
1-month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional reappraisal. The
28:23
details will be announced by the NCAA. Six, I have directed all relevant
28:29
aviation agencies in collaboration with other complimentary agencies outside aviation to immediately begin a retreat
28:36
next week to properly retrain and prepare our aviation security personnel on how to deal with errant and
28:43
disruptive passengers and how to deescalate potentially explosive situations.
28:48
The retreat will be fully covered by the press with the opportunity to ask all the relevant questions.
28:54
Seven, the airlines will also have their own session when the conduct and attitude of their staff towards members
29:00
of the traveling public will be in full focus. Eight, these above decisions were
29:06
taken by government and the airline operators purely on compassionate grounds as government will never pander
29:11
to base sentiments, politically motivated views or warped legal opinions when clear encroachment of our laws are
29:18
involved. Nine, we are also sending a clear message that we take safety and
29:24
security in the aviation sector very seriously and we have decided to draw a line after these clemencies.
29:31
Nigeria police force in the fivecount charges filed against the female passenger of Ibomb Air stated that count
29:38
one that you comfort Bob on the 10 day of August 2025 at about 14:30 hours
29:45
while on board Ibomb aircraft number SNBXP parked at Matala Muhammad airport
29:51
terminal 2 MMA2 Aed in the Aledger Magisterial District did behave in an
29:58
unruly and disorderly manner by shouting on top of your voice. abusing and

Lagos State of Nigeria 2015. The Ibam Air Management in a press
32:19
release issued on Monday entitled incident involving an unruly passenger on August 10th, 2025 said and in quotes
32:27
that Ibam Air confirms that on Sunday, August 10th, 2025, an incident occurred
32:33
on board our u Lagos flight involving a passenger comfort eman whose conduct
32:39
posed a serious threat to the safety of our crew, passengers, and aircraft.
32:45
Shortly before takeoff from Ouyo, Emanson was instructed, in line with standard aviation safety procedures, to
32:52
switch off her mobile phone. She bluntly refused to comply until the pilot in
32:58
command made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off.
33:04
This action prompted a verbal tirade from Eman. The situation was eventually
33:09
calmed and the flight departed as scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos,
33:15
Emanson waited for all other passengers to disembark and then proceeded to confront the person who had earlier
33:21
instructed her. She walked up to the unsuspecting purser, stepped on her,
33:26
forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses, and threw it to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her. She
33:33
slapped her several times, and when the other cabin crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her, too. She
33:40
then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and grounded the
33:47
aircraft. By this time, the pilot in command had alerted airport security.
33:53
Before security could arrive, the purser, as seen on the viral video on the internet, prevented the passenger
33:59
from leaving the aircraft until security arrived. The arrival of Ibamair security
34:05
personnel did not deter the passenger as she attacked him as well, lashing out violently at the security personnel. She
34:12
was then restrained and removed from the aircraft by force. Even after disembarking, she continued to assault
34:19
Ibomb air security personnel and even slapped the ground supervisor. The
34:25
passenger was removed from the ramp and taken into custody by FAA security and
34:30
handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation. Ibamair has since submitted a report on
34:37
the incident to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and placed a travel restriction on eman who will no longer
34:44
be permitted to fly on any of our aircraft. Ibomb Air reiterates its zero
34:49
tolerance policy towards any form of unruly or violent conduct that threatens the safety of passengers, crew or
34:56
equipment. Such behavior will be met with the strongest possible response,
35:01
including legal action and permanent restriction from our services. We commend the bravery and professionalism
35:08
of our crew in handling this situation under extremely challenging circumstances as well as the swift
35:14
support from airport security and the Nigeria police. Safety remains our
35:19
highest priority. We urge all passengers to comply with crew instructions at all
35:24
times for the safety, security and comfort of everyone on board. We have
35:30
reported that the Nigeria aviation minister Fesus Cayamo says the ministry
35:35
has directed for the aviation staff who released the video footage containing the aspect of an Ibomb Airlines
35:41
passenger. Comfort eman or Bob seen in an indecent appearance with her chest sexual organs exposed after the
35:48
passenger shirt was torn by an Ibomb Airlines staff. While security operatives was seen in the viral video
35:55
dragging the agrieved passenger out of the aircraft following an act of confrontation between the passenger and
36:01
Ibomb Airlines hostesses. Which one of the hostesses blocked the right of way of the passenger and prevented the
36:07
passenger from disembarking from the plane? And after countless warning to the airline passenger to leave the road,
36:14
the passenger went physical with the hostess by allegedly slapping her on the face, which the confrontation with the
36:19
hostess apparently led to the alleged destruction of the plane divider cotton, which Ibomb Airlines valued at $2,500,
36:27
as stated in count five of the fivecount charges the police filed against the passenger at a Kedar magistrate court in
36:34
Lagos State. We had reproed that a careful study of the viral video involving the Ibomb airline personnel,
36:41
Lagos airport security operatives and an agrieved passenger comfort eman on board
36:47
the airline plane on Sunday indicated that while the enraged passenger was being dragged off the plane by three men
36:54
who held her two hands and legs suspending her a little bit on the air, a lady putting on a bomb air corporate
37:01
clothes who was behind the camera lens could be seen in the video to have approached searched the passenger at the
37:07
door point of the plane while the passenger was about to be taken out, apparently dipped her hand towards the
37:13
waist part of the passenger, untucked the passenger shirt from the trousers, grabbed and pulled the passenger's shirt
37:19
towards her head and in the process the passenger shirt got tore and the passenger's chest sexual organs or
37:26
private parts were completely exposed. The action of the Ibomb airline staff appeared to be deliberate as the airline
37:32
female staff was not part of those dragging the passenger off the aircraft. And after the female passengers body was
37:39
exposed, the Ibam Airlines female staff never joined or assisted the security operatives to drag the passenger off the
37:46
plane. This indicated that the motive of the female staff of Ibam Airline was solely to remove the passenger shirt and
37:53
expose the agrieved airline passenger to ridicule. Bringing
