Sequel to the clash between an Ibom Air hostess and a now blacklisted passenger, Comfort Emmanson, a new video from a customer of the Nigerian local airline has surfaced online and shifted attention to a questionable attitude of the air hostess.
NPO Reported that Emmanson was yesterday remanded in Kirikiri prison and slammed with lifetime flight ban by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) over her physical assault on the Ibom Air hostess on the Uyo to Lagos bound local flight.
The incident which occurred over the weekend had sparked mixed reactions and divides between members of the public.
While some had sided with the actions taken against the unruly passenger, others had raised suspicion of her being possibly provoked by the air hostess which led to her reaction.
Amid the ongoing controversies surrounding the incident, an Ibom Air customer had on Tuesday released a video of the same air hostess clashing with another passenger in a flight from Accra, Ghana, last year.
As captured in the post shared on X, the air hostess was accused of being rude for deliberate provocation of passengers.
The passenger recounted how the air hostess had provoked a male passenger to the point where he was deboarded from the plane.
In similar version, a request by the pilots for passengers to turn off their phones had led to the clash between the air hostess and the male passenger.
The incident had seen other passengers accuse the air hostess of being rude as they challenged the pilot over the eviction of the male passenger from the flight.
While the passengers were alighting, the air hostess allegedly hissed and cursed the passengers who stood in solidarity with the deboarded passenger.
“There is something fishy between that Ibom Air staff and some of the pilots that need to be uncovered. Her ego is too overrated for a mere Air Hostess! Who is she? Who is she? Who is her father? What does she have?
“I mad this video and many more from my camera from my trip to Ghana last year and by the time we were alighting, the woman was hissing, cursing, and eyeing us off camera but once camera appears, she starts to behave sanely” the passenger wrote in caption of the video.
