Spokesman of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has condemned the assault by the crew of Ibom Air and airport security officials on a passenger, Comfort Emmanson.
Naija News reports that Emmanson had, in a viral video, repeatedly slapped an Ibom Air crew member after she was allegedly told to switch off her phone before take-off.
In a statement on Monday, Ibom Air said the incident happened on Sunday while Emmanson was on board their Uyo to Lagos flight.
According to the airline, she bluntly refused to switch off her phone until the Pilot-in-Command made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off.
Reacting, Paul Ibe, in a post via 𝕏, faulted the decision to assault Comfort Emmanson while Fuji singer, Ayinde Marshal, aka KWAM1, was allowed to walk off the tarmac in similar circumstances.
According to Ibe, the recent airport controversy is the reason the authorities should be deliberate about nipping bad behaviour in the bud.
He wrote: “The assault of Ibom Air crew and airport security officials on Sunday by an Ibom Air passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, is the reason why we need to be deliberate about nipping bad behaviour in the bud.
“There’s a temptation to hail the airport security officials of acting swiftly and removing the unruly passenger from the aircraft and the tarmac.
“But the question arises: Why was KWAM 1 also not bundled out of the tarmac in the same manner when he, in a hostage-taking manner, obstructed ValueJet AIrline operations in Abuja last week? May be it was because Comfort is not a friend of the President.
“This is the reason why the authorities should have made an example of KWAM 1 to avert copycats like passenger Comfort from breeding a KWAM 2 scenario.
“The question is, when will KWAM 1 be arraigned in court along with Comfort? The world, especially the international aviation body, is watching. @fkeyamo @fmaviationng @NigeriaCAA.”
