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 Eman 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 shies 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. A careful study of
3:31
the viral video involving the Ibomb
3:33
airline personnel, Lagos airport
3:35
security operatives and an agrieved
3:37
passenger comfort eman on board the
3:40
airline plane on Sunday indicated that
3:42
while the enraged passenger was being
3:45
dragged off the plane by three men who
3:47
held her two hands and legs suspending
3:50
her a little bit on the air, a lady
3:52
putting on a bomb air corporate clothes
3:54
who was behind the camera lens could be
3:56
seen in the video to have approached the
3:58
passenger at the door point of the plane
4:01
while the passenger was about to be
4:03
taken out. Apparently dipped her hand
4:05
towards the waist part of the passenger,
4:07
untucked the passenger shirt from the
4:09
trousers, grabbed and pulled the
4:11
passenger's shirt towards her head and
4:13
in the process the passenger shirt got
4:15
tore and the passenger's chest sexual
4:17
organs or private parts were completely
4:20
exposed. The action of the Ibomb airline
4:22
staff appeared to be deliberate as the
4:25
airline female staff was not part of
4:27
those dragging the passenger off the
4:29
aircraft and after the female
4:30
passenger's body was exposed. The Ibomb
4:33
Airlines female staff never joined or
4:35
assisted the security operatives to drag
4:38
the passenger off the plane. This
4:40
indicated that the motive of the female
4:42
staff of Ibam Airline was solely to
4:44
remove the passenger shirt and expose
4:46
the agrieved airline passenger to
4:48
ridicule. The video of the passenger's
4:51
partial nakedness, especially her two
4:53
breasts completely exposed due to the
4:55
apparent action of a yet to be arrested
4:57
and prosecuted female staff of Ibomb
5:00
Airlines has since gone viral with some
5:02
pornographic channels already updating
5:04
their channels with the partial
5:06
nakedness of the Ibomb Airlines
5:08
passenger. According to Punch newspaper,
5:11
Comfort Eman, the passenger accused of
5:13
assaulting airline officials aboard an
5:16
Ibomb Air flight from uo to Lagos has
5:18
been charged in court and remanded in
5:20
Kirk Kiri Correctional Center in Lagos.
5:23
Tundday Mashud, special adviser on media
5:26
and communications to the Minister of
5:28
Aviation and Aerospace Development Fesus
5:31
Cayamo San confirmed the development in
5:34
a post on his official X handle on
5:36
Monday. The more reason the flying
5:39
public should be more careful. The
5:41
unruly passenger on the uyo Lagosbound
5:43
Ibombair miscomfort eman has been
5:46
charged to court and she's now cooling
5:48
off in kirki. Mashie wrote, "Ibomb Air
5:52
in a press statement on Monday said that
5:55
Ibam Air confirms that on Sunday, August
5:58
10th, 2025, an incident occurred on
6:01
board our Uyo Lagos flight involving a
6:03
passenger Comfort Eman whose conduct
6:06
posed a serious threat to the safety of
6:08
our crew, passengers, and aircraft.
6:12
Shortly before takeoff from Ouyo,
6:14
Emanson was instructed in line with
6:16
standard aviation safety procedures to
6:19
switch off her mobile phone. She bluntly
6:22
refused to comply until the pilot in
6:24
command made an announcement after which
6:26
a fellow passenger seated beside her
6:28
took the phone and switched it off. This
6:31
action prompted a verbal tirade from
6:33
Emanson. The situation was eventually
6:36
calmed and the flight departed as
6:38
scheduled. Upon arrival in Lagos,
6:41
Emanson waited for all other passengers
6:43
to disembark and then proceeded to
6:45
confront the person who had earlier
6:47
instructed her. She walked up to the
6:50
unsuspecting purser, stepped on her,
6:52
forcibly tore off her wig, removed her
6:55
glasses and threw it to the floor and
6:57
used her footwear to assault her.

Management of National Youth Service
7:02
Corps under the leadership of Brigadier
7:04
General Olukunlay Nafu has given reasons
7:06
why a serving Nigeria Youth Corps member
7:09
Ashier Rita Auimay was denied NYC
7:12
discharge certificate that could have
7:14
enabled her exit the one-year mandatory
7:17
program after she completed the one-year
7:19
paramilitary service to her nation as a
7:21
new graduate. And according to a
7:24
statement posted and made available by
7:26
NYSC on Sunday with no name of the
7:29
authority responsible for the press
7:31
statement written or mentioned in the
7:33
statement, the NYC said core member Rita
7:37
Aguayi's discharge certificate was
7:39
withheld and her service year extended
7:41
by 2 months following her alleged
7:43
absence or failure to attend the April
7:46
2025 NYSC biometrics clearance at Etiosa
7:51
local government area secretariat and
7:54
the month stated by NYC was barely few
7:57
days after the core member had cried out
7:59
loud in the month of March 2025 over the
8:02
apparent increasing high rates of hunger
8:05
as a result of rising costs of living in
8:08
Nigeria and as such she described the
8:10
president Bola Ahmed Tonubu as a
8:13
terrible president in a swift reaction
8:15
to the reason given by NYSC Rita
8:18
Aguaya's lawyer barristister Anibbe
8:21
fyang while answering questions from
8:23
channels television program presenters
8:26
on Monday morning said the statement
8:28
issued by the management of the national
8:30
youth service corps NYC on its decision
8:33
to extend the service period and
8:35
withhold the certificate of national
8:37
service of core member Ashier Rita
8:39
Auimay alias Ray does not represent the
8:42
truth of the matter saying on April 7th
8:45
2025 Rita was physically present at the
8:49
local government secretariat for the
8:50
headcount and clearance. But the NYSC
8:53
official at the local government level
8:55
deliberately refused to attend to her.
8:58
Even after 6 hours waiting, during which
9:00
she was asked to go back and queued up
9:03
on the line repeatedly, the NYSC
9:05
official still refused to attend to her.
9:07
And thereafter, on April 11th, 2025, the
9:11
core member went to meet the NYSC
9:13
official and begged her to allow her
9:15
perform April 2025 biometrics clearance.
9:19
The NYSC female official refused and
9:22
asked the core member to leave. This
9:25
Amnesty International said the National
9:27
Youth Service Corp. NYSC must resend its
9:31
decision. The Amnesty International
9:33
described as arbitrary and outrageous,
9:35
saying NYC allegedly used bureaucratic
9:38
tricks to extend the core member
9:40
national service year over the
9:42
government's unacceptable intolerance of
9:44
dissenting voices with former Nigeria
9:47
Vice President Atiku Abu Bakr describing
9:50
the NYSC action as impunity and as such
9:53
cautioned the government against
9:55
subjecting everything to politics. And
9:57
on Monday morning, the former governor
9:59
of an amber state, Peter Obi, issued a
10:02
statement and said, "In our country
10:04
today, hunger and poverty are not just
10:06
distant statistics. They are the harsh
10:08
reality that millions of our people face
10:11
daily." Recently the United Nations
10:13
stated that about 34 million Nigerians
10:16
will face acute food insecurity and
10:19
about 63% of our population which is
10:22
about 133 million people now live in
10:26
multi-dimensional poverty inflation even
10:28
with the suppressed statistics
