Harrison Gwamnershu. The two suspects were arrested inside the bush
55
00:03:31,680 –> 00:03:35,719
after intelligence gathering indicated that the kidnapping was not genuine,

00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:39,080
adding that they were not mobilized by Senator ned muniir

en Woco, the senator representing Delta North’s Senatorial Zone, who
58
00:03:43,719 –> 00:03:46,520

00:03:46,560 –> 00:03:49,879
the supposed victim, together with two members of the Idamu
60
00:03:49,960 –> 00:03:54,159

139
00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:08,279
which caused her a severe sharp pain and as a

00:09:08,320 –> 00:09:10,879
result of the pain, she hit the air hostess on
141
00:09:10,919 –> 00:09:14,720

on Sunday, August seventeenth, twenty twenty five, which was exactly
148
00:09:36,320 –> 00:09:39,840
after one week the incident occurred. She said she was
149
00:09:39,879 –> 00:09:42,519
the one who begged the co passenger to help switch
150
00:09:42,559 –> 00:09:44,679
off her phone when the plane was about to take
151
00:09:44,679 –> 00:09:48,159
off at Uyo Airport, contrary to the narratives painted by
152
00:09:48,200 –> 00:09:50,960
a Bomb Air management that she refused to switch off
153
00:09:50,960 –> 00:09:53,559
her phone and a co passenger on board the plane
154
00:09:53,639 –> 00:09:56,240
forcefully took the phone from her and switched it off,
155
00:09:56,440 –> 00:10:00,080
and thereafter Comfort Emanson engaged the co passenger and the
156
00:10:00,159 –> 00:10:02,639
other staff of the airline in a long war of
157
00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:07,159
words the IBOM air management referred to as tirade. Details
158
00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:10,960
of her statement, as transcribed and presented by Channel’s television,
159
00:10:11,039 –> 00:10:15,960
reads verbatim below. Comfort Emanson, an air passenger embroiled in
160
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:19,799
a controversial IBOM air incident, has given a detailed account
161
00:10:19,840 –> 00:10:21,919
of the events on board the flight that led to
162
00:10:21,919 –> 00:10:25,919
her arrest, arraignment, and eventual discharge by a Lagos court.
163
00:10:26,639 –> 00:10:29,679
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Sunday,
164
00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:33,879
Emanson expressed gratitude to supporters who stood by her during
165
00:10:33,919 –> 00:10:38,360
what she described as a traumatic ordeal. Narrating her version
166
00:10:38,399 –> 00:10:42,240
of events, the real estate consultant recalled that on August tenth,
167
00:10:42,279 –> 00:10:46,000
twenty twenty five, she boarded a flight from Luyo to Lagos.
168
00:10:46,759 –> 00:10:49,840
She alleged that a disagreement began when a fight attendant
169
00:10:50,279 –> 00:10:54,320
identified as Juliana insisted she switched off her phone rather
170
00:10:54,399 –> 00:10:58,159
than place it in flight mode. According to her, one
171
00:10:58,159 –> 00:11:01,720
of her two phones had a faulty power I showed
172
00:11:01,720 –> 00:11:04,399
her the phone and told her the power button was bad.
173
00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:08,080
She said, I could still switch it off through the settings.
174
00:11:08,480 –> 00:11:11,840
With the help of a fellow passenger, I eventually managed
175
00:11:11,840 –> 00:11:15,919
to switch off both phones, She explained. When we landed
176
00:11:15,960 –> 00:11:20,000
in Lagos, everybody was getting out of the aircraft. I
177
00:11:20,279 –> 00:11:23,519
following the meeting of President Vladimir Putin of Russia and
178
00:11:23,559 –> 00:11:27,360
President Donald Trump of the United States on Friday in Alaska.
179
00:11:27,879 –> 00:11:32,080
Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelensky has said he knows the treachery
180
00:11:32,080 –> 00:11:36,320
of President Putin that in the coming days, Russia’s soldiers
181
00:11:36,360 –> 00:11:40,320
may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions
182
00:11:40,360 –> 00:11:44,679
in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks
183
00:11:44,720 –> 00:11:48,559
with global actors. Zelensky made this statement some hours ago
184
00:11:48,679 –> 00:11:52,840
while stating that Ukrainian soldiers have achieved some successes in
185
00:11:52,919 –> 00:11:57,200
Daranjesk region, especially in the areas of Dobrapilia and Pokrosk.
186
00:11:57,480 –> 00:12:01,600
Then ordered the Commander in Chief Alexander Serski to speak
187
00:12:01,639 –> 00:12:05,159
with combat commanders that Ukraine needs strong positions and truly
188
00:12:05,279 –> 00:12:09,919
tangible resistance to the enemy. In his words, Zelensky said,
189
00:12:10,320 –> 00:12:13,919
I received a report from Commander in Chief Alexander Serski
190
00:12:14,639 –> 00:12:17,799
the front, the defense of positions and up to date
191
00:12:17,840 –> 00:12:21,039
information on the intentions and movements of the Russian Army.
192
00:12:21,759 –> 00:12:25,120
We are defending our positions along the entire front line,
193
00:12:25,279 –> 00:12:27,559
and for the second day in a row, we have
194
00:12:27,639 –> 00:12:31,799
achieved successes in some extremely difficult areas in the Duanyesk region,
195
00:12:32,279 –> 00:12:36,600
in the direction of Dobrapilia and Pokrosk. In particular, I
196
00:12:36,720 –> 00:12:39,039
want to commend the units of the first Corps of
197
00:12:39,039 –> 00:12:42,480
the National Guard of Ukraine, as of the units of
198
00:12:42,519 –> 00:12:45,679
the seventh Corps of the Aerosault Forces, the units of
199
00:12:45,720 –> 00:12:49,519
the thirty eighth Separate Marine Brigade named after Headman Petro
200
00:12:49,639 –> 00:12:52,399
saheding Me, as well as the units of our ninety
201
00:12:52,480 –> 00:12:57,200
third Separate Mechanized Brigade Colony YAH. The destruction of the
202
00:12:57,279 –> 00:13:01,399
occupiers who tried to infiltrate deeper into our positions continues.
203
00:13:02,240 –> 00:13:06,480
There has also been an important replenishment of Ukraine’s exchange
204
00:13:06,519 –> 00:13:11,120
fund with Russian soldiers. The Commander in Chief also reported
205
00:13:11,159 –> 00:13:14,279
on the actions of our units in the Sumi, Kharkiv
206
00:13:14,519 –> 00:13:18,840
and Zaporigia regions. I am grateful to all our warriors
207
00:13:18,840 –> 00:13:22,799
for their resilience. Based on the political and diplomatic situation
208
00:13:22,919 –> 00:13:27,000
around Ukraine and knowing Russia’s treachery, we anticipate that in
209
00:13:27,039 –> 00:13:29,840
the coming days the Russian Army may try to increase
210
00:13:29,879 –> 00:13:33,480
pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create
211
00:13:33,559 –> 00:13:38,440
more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors. We
212
00:13:38,480 –> 00:13:43,039
are documenting the movement and preparations of Russian troops of course,
213
00:13:43,360 –> 00:13:48,200
we will counteract if necessary asymmetrically. I ask the Commander
214
00:13:48,279 –> 00:13:52,200
in Chief to speak with combat commanders. Ukraine needs strong
215
00:13:52,279 –> 00:13:56,039
positions and truly tangible resistance to the enemy. I thank
216
00:13:56,159 –> 00:14:00,279
every one of our soldiers, sergeants and officers who arerrying
217
00:14:00,279 –> 00:14:03,440

218
00:14:03,480 –> 00:14:08,159
that is necessary for Ukraine’s confidence. Glory to Ukraine. We
219
00:14:08,240 –> 00:14:11,519

244
00:15:49,279 –> 00:15:54,080

257
00:16:47,360 –> 00:16:50,679
These two men have been on Nigeria’s most wanted list
258
00:16:50,720 –> 00:16:56,600
for years. They jointly spearheaded multiple attacks on civilians, security forces,

263
00:17:12,880 –> 00:17:16,160
Trump of the United States over the war Russia launched
264
00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,200
since twenty twenty two in Ukraine, which has led to
265
00:17:19,279 –> 00:17:24,759
thousands of deaths, mostly Ukrainians, which President Voladimir Kelensky of Ukraine,
266
00:17:24,759 –> 00:17:27,640
who was not invited for the meeting on Friday, in
267
00:17:27,680 –> 00:17:30,359
a statement, said that it was time to end the war,
268
00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:33,200
but Russia must take the necessary steps to a genuine
269
00:17:33,240 –> 00:17:36,519
peace steal And. While commenting on the statement made by
270
00:17:36,559 –> 00:17:40,160
the President of Poland Karl Navoki on Friday via x
271
00:17:40,279 –> 00:17:44,119
social media platform to mark Poland Armed Forces Day, which
272
00:17:44,160 –> 00:17:47,519
coincided with the day Putin and Trump met in Alaska,
273
00:17:47,839 –> 00:17:53,200
President Zelenski said that Ukraine’s independence strengthens Poland’s independence and
274
00:17:53,279 –> 00:17:56,000
we must always remember that the Miracle on the Vistula
275
00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:59,640
was made possible through joint efforts and it saved Europe.
276
00:18:00,119 –> 00:18:04,039
The Polish President Karl Navoki had said that today we

Polish Army, together with Ukrainian forces, successfully repelled the Red
280
00:18:15,480 –> 00:18:20,599
Army’s westward March, safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For centuries,
281
00:18:20,839 –> 00:18:24,279
Russian imperialism has been a mortal threat to our freedom.
282
00:18:24,640 –> 00:18:29,119
Poland’s political tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a
283
00:18:29,200 –> 00:18:33,119
legacy of domestic despotism in which the only freeman is
284
00:18:33,160 –> 00:18:36,839
the ruler himself. But precisely because Russian despotism is the
285
00:18:37,000 –> 00:18:41,000
enemy of freedom, Russian imperialism can only be defeated through
286
00:18:41,079 –> 00:18:45,440
an alliance of free peoples. My nation halted Russian imperialism
287
00:18:45,440 –> 00:18:50,200
at Usher fifteen fourteen, Klashido one thousand, six hundred ten
288
00:18:50,519 –> 00:18:54,720
and Warsaw nineteen twenty. It was probably a synature of
289
00:18:54,759 –> 00:18:58,640
world attention when Air Force one and Russia presidential aircraft
290
00:18:58,640 –> 00:19:02,119
officially wheeled down a da joined bas Selmendorf as President
291
00:19:02,160 –> 00:19:05,559
Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin met face to face
292
00:19:05,599 –> 00:19:08,640
for the first time since the war in Ukraine started
293
00:19:08,720 –> 00:19:12,240
on February twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and the Friday
294
00:19:12,279 –> 00:19:15,680
meeting marked the first time President Vladimir Putin of Russia
295
00:19:15,799 –> 00:19:19,000
was stepping on Western country soil since he launched the
296
00:19:19,039 –> 00:19:22,480
war against Ukraine. He was able to meet Trump in
297
00:19:22,519 –> 00:19:25,400
Alaska because the US is not a member country of
298
00:19:25,440 –> 00:19:29,160
the International Criminal Court Ices that issued a warrant of
299
00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:32,720
arrest against the Kremlin leader since twenty twenty three over
300
00:19:32,759 –> 00:19:36,440
alleged war crime in Ukraine. It would be recalled that
301
00:19:36,480 –> 00:19:40,240
the Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend the twenty
302
00:19:40,319 –> 00:19:45,680
twenty five annual Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
303
00:19:45,759 –> 00:19:48,839
Summit known as Briggs Summit in Brazil due to concerns
304
00:19:48,880 –> 00:19:52,480
over an international criminal co. Contestants in the last concluded
305
00:19:52,519 –> 00:19:56,119
general elections in Nigeria and former Governor of Anambra State,
306
00:19:56,599 –> 00:20:00,279
Peter Obe has faulted President Bola Ahmed Tanubu tri to
307
00:20:00,319 –> 00:20:03,880
Brazil and also condemned the president frequent travel abroad at
308
00:20:03,920 –> 00:20:08,319
any slightest invitation and abandoned pressing issues of insecurity and
309
00:20:08,440 –> 00:20:13,039
other deplorable situations that make the nation bleeds. Specifically, Peter
310
00:20:13,160 –> 00:20:17,359
Obi said, the situation we find ourselves in is deeply worrisome.
311
00:20:17,640 –> 00:20:20,640
Our president, who has not found it worthy to visit
312
00:20:20,720 –> 00:20:23,920
any of our troubled states, takes joy in traveling to
313
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:28,319
foreign countries at the slightest invitation or excuse, often departing
314
00:20:28,359 –> 00:20:32,200
several days even before the events he’s invited to. The
315
00:20:32,240 –> 00:20:35,880
presidency had in a statement on Wednesday, said that President
316
00:20:35,920 –> 00:20:40,079
Bola Tanubu will depart Abouja on Thursday, August fourteenth for
317
00:20:40,160 –> 00:20:43,720
a two nation trip to Japan and Brazil. The President
318
00:20:43,759 –> 00:20:48,200
will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates before proceeding
319
00:20:48,240 –> 00:20:52,680
to Japan. In Japan, President Tanubu will attend the ninth
320
00:20:52,759 –> 00:20:58,200
Tokyo International Conference on African Development TICAD nine in the
321
00:20:58,240 –> 00:21:01,519
city of Yokohama from August tie twentieth to twenty two
322
00:21:01,920 –> 00:21:06,720
With the theme co Create Innovative Solutions with Africa. TICAD
323
00:21:06,920 –> 00:21:10,880
nine will focus on Africa’s economic transformation and improvements in
324
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:15,200
the business environment and institutions through private investment and innovation.
325
00:21:16,039 –> 00:21:19,880
It will also promote a resilient and sustainable African society
326
00:21:19,960 –> 00:21:24,880
for human security, peace and stability. In addition to attending
327
00:21:24,920 –> 00:21:28,880
cleanery sessions on themes linked to the conference, the Nigerian
328
00:21:28,920 –> 00:21:31,799
President will hold by lateral meetings and meet the chief
329
00:21:31,839 –> 00:21:36,160
executive offices of some Japanese companies with investments in Nigeria.
330
00:21:36,880 –> 00:21:40,480
Initiated in nineteen ninety three by the Japanese government and
331
00:21:40,559 –> 00:21:45,920
co hosted by the United Nations UNDP, the African Union Commission,
332
00:21:46,119 –> 00:21:50,200
and the World Bank, TICAD is a triennial conference held
333
00:21:50,240 –> 00:21:54,200
alternately in Japan and Africa. The last one took place
334
00:21:54,240 –> 00:21:58,519
in August twenty twenty two in Tunisia. The Forum foster’s
335
00:21:58,599 –> 00:22:02,799
high level policy dialog between African leaders and development partners.
336
00:22:03,559 –> 00:22:07,680
At the end of the TICAD nine, President Tanubu will
337
00:22:07,759 –> 00:22:11,440
leave for Brazilia, the capital of the Federated Republic of Brazil,
338
00:22:11,799 –> 00:22:14,839
on a two day state visit from Sunday, August twenty
339
00:22:14,880 –> 00:22:19,400
fourth to Monday August twenty fifth. This follows an invitation
340
00:22:19,599 –> 00:22:24,359
by the Brazilian President Luis Anatio Lula da Silva. While
341
00:22:24,400 –> 00:22:28,079
in Brazil, President Tanubu will hold a bilateral meeting with
342
00:22:28,160 –> 00:22:33,039
his host and attender business forum with Brazilian investors. His delegation,
343
00:22:33,640 –> 00:22:38,200
comprising key ministers and senior officials, will explore opportunities to
344
00:22:38,240 –> 00:22:42,400
strengthen cooperation and sign a federal government of Nigeria under
345
00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:45,799
the leadership of President Bola Ahmed. Tanubu has ordered the
346
00:22:45,839 –> 00:22:49,400
Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos Airport to withdraw
347
00:22:49,440 –> 00:22:52,680
the one sided and obviously biased court case the Nigeria
348
00:22:52,759 –> 00:22:56,680
Police Force may have wrongly instituted against a Nimom air passenger,
349
00:22:57,200 –> 00:23:01,119
comfort Emanson, who was seen in viral videos retaliating and
350
00:23:01,160 –> 00:23:04,920
defending herself physically after a group of Ibom air personnel
351
00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,200
and Lagos Airport team had attacked her and provoked her
352
00:23:08,240 –> 00:23:11,559
to action. The FG position on the issue was made
353
00:23:11,640 –> 00:23:15,920
known by the Nigeria Minister of Aviation Festus Chamo in
354
00:23:15,960 –> 00:23:19,359
a press release the Minister signed and made available few
355
00:23:19,440 –> 00:23:23,720
minutes ago. Although Festus Caamo reversed his self and acknowledged
356
00:23:23,759 –> 00:23:26,599
that the issue was a case of confrontation between the
357
00:23:26,640 –> 00:23:30,720
twenty six years old passenger and the staff of Ibom Airlines,
358
00:23:30,759 –> 00:23:33,359
who in the new press release admitted that the staff
359
00:23:33,400 –> 00:23:37,480
of Ibom air and the Lagos Airport Authority team acted wrongly,
360
00:23:37,839 –> 00:23:41,079
but the minister did not state how the attacked passenger
361
00:23:41,119 –> 00:23:45,079
would be compensated, most especially when her chest sexual organs
362
00:23:45,160 –> 00:23:48,799
were seemed to be deliberately exposed after a suspected Ibom
363
00:23:48,880 –> 00:23:52,200
Airline staff pulled off and tore the passenger shirt with
364
00:23:52,279 –> 00:23:56,440
obvious intention to expose the passenger’s nakedness. The action of
365
00:23:56,480 –> 00:23:59,680
the federal government may ease the tension among millions of
366
00:23:59,680 –> 00:24:03,440
peapeople who have accused the Nigeria Police Force obayding and
367
00:24:03,519 –> 00:24:06,839
the vetting the Ibom Airline company to continue to attack
368
00:24:06,880 –> 00:24:10,559
and oppress the offended passenger Comfort Bob, who is also
369
00:24:10,720 –> 00:24:14,880
identified as Comfort Emanson, by thus supporting the statement of
370
00:24:14,960 –> 00:24:18,720
Ibom Air management, who in their first press release made
371
00:24:18,759 –> 00:24:22,119
statement that seems to have some level of deliberate falsehood
372
00:24:22,160 –> 00:24:24,960
and raising up a dead issue to win undue public
373
00:24:25,039 –> 00:24:29,359
sentiments manipulate the Nigeria Police forced to help them secure
374
00:24:29,440 –> 00:24:33,359
detention holding charge from the Lagos State Magistrate caught to
375
00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:37,880
further oppress and intimidate the attacked passenger. Specifically, Ibom Air
376
00:24:37,880 –> 00:24:41,079
stated in her first press released that shortly after the
377
00:24:41,119 –> 00:24:44,680
plane landed at Lagos Airport, the passenger waited for every
378
00:24:44,680 –> 00:24:48,079
other passenger on board the plane to disembark, and thereafter,
379
00:24:48,440 –> 00:24:52,880
without provocation, went to one of the plane hostesses, Juliana Edward,
380
00:24:52,920 –> 00:24:57,799
the ibam Air management described as purser, stepped on her, forcibly,
381
00:24:57,839 –> 00:25:00,640
tore off her wig, removed her glass and threw it
382
00:25:00,680 –> 00:25:03,400
to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her.
383
00:25:03,880 –> 00:25:06,759
She slapped her several times, and when the other cabin
384
00:25:06,880 –> 00:25:10,519
crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She
385
00:25:10,640 –> 00:25:14,079
then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use
386
00:25:14,119 –> 00:25:16,559
as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and
387
00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:20,559
grounded the aircraft. Soon after the Ibomb Air management released
388
00:25:20,559 –> 00:25:24,119
the statement. On Monday, her video surfaced on the Internet
389
00:25:24,119 –> 00:25:27,880
that probably invalidated the statement of the Ibom air management
390
00:25:27,960 –> 00:25:31,599
and stood out as an acceptable evidence that Nigeria Aviation
391
00:25:31,799 –> 00:25:35,799
Minister Festus Caamo says the Ministry has directed for the
392
00:25:35,839 –> 00:25:39,920
aviation staff who released the video footage containing the aspect
393
00:25:40,000 –> 00:25:44,000
of an Ibom Airlines passenger Comfort Hemanson or Bob scene
394
00:25:44,039 –> 00:25:48,000
in an indecent appearance with her chest sexual organs exposed
395
00:25:48,039 –> 00:25:51,359
after the passenger shirt was torn by an Ibom Airline
396
00:25:51,559 –> 00:25:55,319
staff while security operatives were seen in the viral video
397
00:25:55,480 –> 00:25:59,000
dragging the aggrieved passenger out of the aircraft. Following an
398
00:25:59,039 –> 00:26:03,559
act of conference between the passenger and Ibom Airlines hostesses
399
00:26:03,680 –> 00:26:06,279
which one of the hostesses blocked the right of way
400
00:26:06,319 –> 00:26:09,720
of the passenger and prevented the passenger from disembarking from
401
00:26:09,720 –> 00:26:13,160
the plane and after countless warning to the airline passenger
402
00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:16,079
to leave the road, the passenger went physical with the
403
00:26:16,119 –> 00:26:18,799
hostess by allegedly slapping her on the face, which the
404
00:26:18,880 –> 00:26:22,599
confrontation with the hostess apparently led to the alleged destruction
405
00:26:22,759 –> 00:26:26,000
of the plane divider. Cotton which Hibom Airlines valued at
406
00:26:26,039 –> 00:26:29,599
two thousand, five hundred dollars as stated in count five
407
00:26:29,680 –> 00:26:32,559
of the five count charges the police filed against the
408
00:26:32,599 –> 00:26:36,519
passenger at a Keja magistrate caught in Lagos State. The
409
00:26:36,599 –> 00:26:40,759
Aviation Minister Festus Kmo, who described the behavior of the
410
00:26:40,799 –> 00:26:44,960
passenger as unruly, said, although the airline staff is right
411
00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:48,119
to video record the event of the passenger’s behavior for
412
00:26:48,160 –> 00:26:51,720
the purpose of legal action, but it is totally unacceptable
413
00:26:51,799 –> 00:26:53,920
for the staff to release part of the video that
414
00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:58,599
exposed the passenger’s nakedness, especially her breasts. Details of the
415
00:26:58,640 –> 00:27:03,279
minister’s statement reads verbatum below. Enough is enough reading the
416
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:06,920
Riot Act on Aviation Safety and Security in reference to
417
00:27:06,960 –> 00:27:09,880
the case of unruly Comfort Bob on Ibom Airline and
418
00:27:09,920 –> 00:27:14,319
related incidents. Earlier today, we again woke up to viral
419
00:27:14,440 –> 00:27:18,559
videos of a female passenger on Ibom Airline, now identified
420
00:27:18,559 –> 00:27:21,720
as Comfort Emanson or Comfort Bob, who went berserk and
421
00:27:21,759 –> 00:27:25,039
physically assaulted both the flight crew and the ground staff.
422
00:27:25,799 –> 00:27:29,880
The incident took place yesterday, August tenth, twenty twenty five,
423
00:27:29,920 –> 00:27:33,240
on Ibom Airline flight number Q one hundred and fifty
424
00:27:33,279 –> 00:27:37,079
three from Uyo to Legos at about fourteen fifty four hours.
425
00:27:37,839 –> 00:27:41,240
Ibom Airline has since issued a statement to provide some
426
00:27:41,319 –> 00:27:44,680
context to the effect that the whole unfortunate incident arose
427
00:27:44,759 –> 00:27:47,400
because of the refusal of the passenger to switch off
428
00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:51,400
her phone during takeoff as required by extant international civil
429
00:27:51,440 –> 00:27:56,640
aviation regulations. Consequently, in the last few hours, I have
430
00:27:56,759 –> 00:27:59,440
been speaking with the Commissioner of Police of the Airport
431
00:27:59,440 –> 00:28:02,519
Police comont, the DG of the NC double A and
432
00:28:02,559 –> 00:28:05,920
his team, the nd of Fain and her team, the
433
00:28:05,960 –> 00:28:08,880
COO of Ibom air and his team about the incident.
434
00:28:09,680 –> 00:28:12,720
Apart from the indefinite flight ban imposed on the said
435
00:28:12,799 –> 00:28:17,720
unruly passenger, both local and international by the Nigeria Civil
436
00:28:17,759 –> 00:28:21,640
Aviation Authority NC double A, a careful study of the
437
00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:26,559
viral video involving the Ibom Airline personnel, legos, airport security
438
00:28:26,599 –> 00:28:30,279
operatives and an aggrieved passenger, comfort E Manson on board
439
00:28:30,279 –> 00:28:33,880
the airline plane on Sunday indicated that while the enraged
440
00:28:33,960 –> 00:28:37,640
passenger was being dragged off the plane by three men
441
00:28:38,000 –> 00:28:40,920
who held her two hands and legs, suspending her a
442
00:28:40,960 –> 00:28:43,839
little bit on the air, a lady putting on Ibomb
443
00:28:43,880 –> 00:28:46,880
Air corporate clothes, who was behind the camera lens could
444
00:28:46,880 –> 00:28:49,680
be seen in the video to have approached the passenger
445
00:28:49,720 –> 00:28:52,480
at the door point of the plane while the passenger
446
00:28:52,640 –> 00:28:55,519
was about to be taking out, apparently dipped her hand
447
00:28:55,559 –> 00:28:58,880
towards the waist part of the passenger, untucked the passenger
448
00:28:58,920 –> 00:29:02,799
shirt from the trousers grabden, pulled the passenger’s shirt towards
449
00:29:02,799 –> 00:29:05,960
her head, and in the process, the passenger shirt got
450
00:29:06,000 –> 00:29:09,799
tore and the passenger’s chest, sexual organs, or private parts
451
00:29:09,839 –> 00:29:13,440
were completely exposed. The action of the Ibom Airline staff
452
00:29:13,519 –> 00:29:16,839
appeared to be deliberate, as the airline female staff was
453
00:29:16,880 –> 00:29:19,960
not part of those dragging the passenger off the aircraft,
454
00:29:20,039 –> 00:29:23,640
and after the female passenger’s body was exposed, the Ibom
455
00:29:23,720 –> 00:29:27,960
Airlines female staff never joined or assisted the security operatives
456
00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:31,200
to drag the passenger off the plane. This indicated that
457
00:29:31,599 –> 00:29:34,400
the motive of the female’s staff of Ibom Airline was
458
00:29:34,440 –> 00:29:37,759
solely to remove the passenger shirt and expose the aggrieved
459
00:29:37,799 –> 00:29:42,759
airline passenger to ridicule the video of the passenger’s partial nakedness,
460
00:29:42,839 –> 00:29:46,359
especially her two breasts completely exposed. Due to the apparent
461
00:29:46,440 –> 00:29:49,440
action of a yet to be arrested and prosecuted female’s
462
00:29:49,480 –> 00:29:52,960
staff of Ibom Airlines has since gone viral, with some
463
00:29:53,000 –> 00:29:57,119
pornographic channels already updating their channels with the partial nakedness
464
00:29:57,119 –> 00:30:02,640
of the Ibom airline’s passenger. According to Punch newspaper, Comfort Emanson,
465
00:30:02,920 –> 00:30:06,799
the passenger accused of assaulting airline officials aboard an ibamair
466
00:30:06,880 –> 00:30:10,000
flight from Uyo to Lagos, has been charged in court
467
00:30:10,039 –> 00:30:14,920
and remanded in Kirrikiri Correctional Center in Lagos Sunday. Machud,
468
00:30:15,319 –> 00:30:18,839
Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of
469
00:30:18,920 –> 00:30:24,839
Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Caamo Sam, confirmed the development
470
00:30:24,920 –> 00:30:27,480
in a post on his official ex handle on Monday.
471
00:30:28,200 –> 00:30:31,000
The more reason the flying public should be more careful.
472
00:30:31,319 –> 00:30:36,359
The unruly passenger on the Yuyo, Lagos bound ibomair Miscomfort Emanson,
473
00:30:36,720 –> 00:30:39,240
has been charged to court and she’s now cooling off
474
00:30:39,240 –> 00:30:43,599
in Kirrikiri, Mischud wrote. Ibom Are in a press statement
475
00:30:43,680 –> 00:30:48,640
on Monday, said that Ibomhyr confirms that on Sunday, August tenth,
476
00:30:48,720 –> 00:30:52,240
twenty twenty five, an incident occurred on board our Uyo
477
00:30:52,359 –> 00:30:57,160
Lagos flight involving a passenger, Comfort Emanson, whose conduct posed
478
00:30:57,200 –> 00:31:00,720
a serious threat to the safety of our crew, passengers
479
00:31:01,000 –> 00:31:06,359
and aircraft. Shortly before takeoff from Muyo, m Anson was instructed,
480
00:31:06,400 –> 00:31:09,880
in line with standard aviation safety procedures, to switch off
481
00:31:09,920 –> 00:31:13,160
her mobile. Management of National Youth Service Corps under the
482
00:31:13,240 –> 00:31:17,519
leadership of Brigadier General Holukunley Nephew, has given reasons why
483
00:31:17,720 –> 00:31:22,079
serving Nigeria Youth Corps member rhier Rita Aguamaye was denied
484
00:31:22,240 –> 00:31:26,240
NYSC discharge certificate that could have enabled her exit the
485
00:31:26,279 –> 00:31:29,720
one year mandatory program after she completed the one year
486
00:31:29,839 –> 00:31:33,359
paramilitary service to her nation as a new graduate. And
487
00:31:33,880 –> 00:31:37,799
according to a statement posted and made available by NYSC
488
00:31:38,000 –> 00:31:41,640
on Sunday with no name of the authority responsible for
489
00:31:41,680 –> 00:31:45,039
the press statement written or mentioned in the statement, the
490
00:31:45,160 –> 00:31:50,160
NYSC said Corps member Retur Aguamei’s discharge certificate was withheld
491
00:31:50,200 –> 00:31:53,559
and her service year extended by two months following her
492
00:31:53,599 –> 00:31:57,720
alleged absence or failure to attend the April twenty twenty
493
00:31:57,720 –> 00:32:03,799
five NYSC biometrix clearance at etiosa Local Government Area Secretariat,
494
00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:07,839
and the month stated by NYSC was barely few days
495
00:32:07,960 –> 00:32:10,519
after the Corps member had cried out loud in the
496
00:32:10,559 –> 00:32:14,200
month of March twenty twenty five over the apparent increasing
497
00:32:14,359 –> 00:32:17,599
high rates of hunger as a result of rising costs
498
00:32:17,640 –> 00:32:21,559
of living in Nigeria, and as such, she described the President,
499
00:32:21,799 –> 00:32:25,200
Bola Ahmed Tenubu as a terrible president. In a swift
500
00:32:25,200 –> 00:32:30,079
reaction to the reason given by NYSC, Rita Aguamee’s lawyer
501
00:32:30,400 –> 00:32:34,440
barrister and nibihe f Young, while answering questions from channel’s
502
00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:39,319
television program presenters on Monday morning, said the statement issued
503
00:32:39,359 –> 00:32:43,079
by the management of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC
504
00:32:43,319 –> 00:32:46,599
on its decision to extend the service period and withhold
505
00:32:46,599 –> 00:32:50,119
the certificate of National Service of Corps Member Hashie Rita
506
00:32:50,200 –> 00:32:54,000
Aguamaye alias Raye, does not represent the truth of the matter,
507
00:32:54,480 –> 00:32:58,599
saying on April seventh, twenty twenty five, Rita was physically
508
00:32:58,640 –> 00:33:01,759
present at the Local Government Secretariat for the head count
509
00:33:01,799 –> 00:33:05,359
and clearance with the NYSC official at the local government
510
00:33:05,480 –> 00:33:09,200
level deliberately refused to attend to her. Even after six
511
00:33:09,240 –> 00:33:12,680
hours waiting, during which she was asked to go back
512
00:33:12,720 –> 00:33:16,119
and queued up on the line repeatedly, the NYSC official
513
00:33:16,200 –> 00:33:20,200
still refused to attend to her and thereafter, on April eleventh,
514
00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:23,119
twenty twenty five, the core member went to meet the
515
00:33:23,279 –> 00:33:26,599
NYSC official and begged her to allow her perform her
516
00:33:26,680 –> 00:33:32,400
April twenty twenty five biometrics clearance. The NYSC female official
517
00:33:32,480 –> 00:33:36,240
refused and asked the corps member to leave. This Amnesty
518
00:33:36,279 –> 00:33:41,039
International said the National Youth Service Corps NYSC must rescind
519
00:33:41,079 –> 00:33:45,880
its decision. The Amnesty International described as arbitrary and outrageous,
520
00:33:45,920 –> 00:33:50,640
saying NYSC allegedly used bureaucratic tricks to extend the core
521
00:33:50,759 –> 00:33:55,200
member national service year over the government’s unacceptable intolerance of
522
00:33:55,279 –> 00:34:00,400
dissenting voices. With former Nigeria Vice President Atiku Abubakha discross
