Nigerian music star Simi has called for sanctions against airport staff who circulated a video showing Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson in a state of indecent exposure.
Taking to her Instagram story, Simi questioned why Emmanson’s behavior had drawn swift punishment while those responsible for filming and sharing the footage without concealing her nudity faced no consequences.
“Someone recorded her being dragged off the plane, recorded her being exposed like that, and then posted it without editing out this exposure or blurring it out. I personally want to know who posted that video and why no one is holding him/her accountable. Because they will face the law,” she wrote.
The award-winning singer stressed that posting such explicit content was a violation of privacy and deserved legal action.
“But voluntarily posting her half-naked for millions of people to see when less than 10 people actually witnessed it in the first place deserves punishment too because you cannot condemn one madness and leave another one,” she said.
Emmanson, a passenger on Ibom Air Flight Q153, allegedly refused to switch off her phone during takeoff, leading to a heated altercation with flight crew and ground staff. She was eventually removed from the aircraft, but a video capturing the incident — and her partial nudity — quickly went viral on social media.
