The Group Manager, Marketing and Communications at Ibom Air, Aniekan Essienette, made this known in response to the controversy that has gripped social media over the incident. In an interview with TVC News on Monday, Ms Essienette said while the video was recorded onboard the plane, it was neither filmed nor shared by Ibom Air staff. “The video was recorded on the plane, but there were several people on board who were not Ibom Air employees. Anyone could have taken it,” she said. “I can tell you categorically that Ibom Air did not release the video. We do not condone such indecent exposure, and it is unfortunate that the video has gone viral.” The incident took place on 10 August after the passenger allegedly refused to switch off her electronic device in defiance of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) safety regulations mandating total device shutdown during flight. The Ibom Air official said the pilot-in-command was compelled to call security after the passenger resisted disembarking, which led to the crew restraining her to ensure a safe removal. “Our crew had to restrain her to ensure security could escort her off the plane,” she explained. The intervention came amid a rising wave of public outrage over the incident, which has sparked debate about passenger rights, airline conduct, and aviation security in Nigeria. The video’s widespread circulation has drawn condemnation from many Nigerians, who described the passenger’s treatment as humiliating and degrading. Despite the backlash, Ms Essienette defended the airline’s position, underscoring Ibom Air’s commitment to customer service and safety. “Ibom Air values our customers and prides itself on reliability and excellent service. We remain committed to these principles,” she said. She urged passengers to respect aviation regulations, emphasising that “most people obey the rule to switch off devices. The airline environment is controlled, and safety must come first.” However, Ibom Air has yet to confirm if it will investigate the source of the video leak or take disciplinary action against those responsible https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/813635-we-never-released-viral-video-showing-passenger-stripped-naked-ibom-air.html 5 Likes 1 Share (Share⤴) Re: We Never Released Viral Video Showing Passenger Stripped Naked – Ibom Air by Softmirror: 11:17am On Aug 12 Making it seem like an Adult content is just a mischievous interpretation of that video.

Ibom Air should take full responsibility rather than resort to this cheap bid for public sympathy. A female passenger was stripped right inside one of their aircraft, they are fully accountable. I doubt i will ever forgive anyone who treats any woman close to me in such a manner. 29 Likes 2 Shares (Share⤴) Re: We Never Released Viral Video Showing Passenger Stripped Naked – Ibom Air by Maxymilliano(m): 12:10pm On Aug 12 So who did and how did it gets to the cyberspace ?

The videos on the plane, the tarmac and the bus. A passenger would not be in the vicinity to take those videos. That said there are many officials. Ibom air officials, avsec, FAAN officials etc etc. This brings to the fore a wider problems it’s Nigeria. Our staff. I repeat this one reason people go abroad to attend to medical needs. It is a nurse or cleaner at the hospital that will invade your privacy, release your medical records or video you in an uncompromising position. We have very poorly trained staff. 10 Likes (Share⤴) Re: We Never Released Viral Video Showing Passenger Stripped Naked – Ibom Air by adioolayi(m): 12:13pm On Aug 12 "The video was recorded on the plane, but there were several people on board who were not Ibom Air employees.

Who did Provide the details of all personnel on ground there. Very important!!! The only flaw from Ibom Air I can see is releasing the uncensored video of that Lady. They have to pay for it. The lady has her flaws, she will face the law...but then, for releasing her naked video, Ibom Air will have to pay also 42 Likes 3 Shares (Share⤴) Re: We Never Released Viral Video Showing Passenger Stripped Naked – Ibom Air by Olu1000: 12:14pm On Aug 12 Islie: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/813635-we-never-released-viral-video-showing-passenger-stripped-naked-ibom-air.html You did not release the video but your cabin crew member clearly tore her shirt and exposed her chest!

Four key takeaways from this event 1. It takes nothing to obey simple rules. If comfort had obeyed that simple instruction of turning off her phone, better still, she could have just put the phone away in her bag, she couldn't have had her name and noodles littered all over the Internet. It's not as if she was performing a life-saving surgery remotely with her phone. Letting very simple things go, could save you a whole lot of trouble. 2. Lead us not into temptation. That's a phrase from Our Lord's prayers. A lot of people claimed she was triggered. There are plenty of situations that you can simply overlook and walk out of. But when you keep arguing, trying to claim that you are right, and you know it all.. You will find yourself in a continuous loop of argument and confrontation, which might eventually escalate into something with very distasteful consequences. Like the old gospel artist sang - any pit wey dem dig for me, I go jump am pass! Try avoid problems at all cost! 3. Know your place in society So because KWAM1 stood in front of an aeroplane, allegedly spilt an unconfirmed liquid on airport officials, and got away with it, you think that you can do the same, because Nigerians will rant on social media and things will turn out in your favour? LOL Single dial, KWAM1 will call 50 people who can take him out of the mess, you... Who can you call? There's no equality anywhere in the world! Know your place! 4. Nigeria is a dungeon where impunity strives and the rule of law isn't obeyed. I don't need to talk plenty about this point. As far as you're a Nigerian, you suppose know the kind country wey you come from. No matter what people will say on the social media, Comfort's noodes are on the Internet, she was dragged around like a common criminal, she has been remanded in a maximum correctional facility... None of the people typing plenty on the Internet can or could save her. They're typing aggressively from the comfort of their homes! Ibom Air are still in business and life has continued for the rest of us. Conclusion: If you see problem, dodge it! 31 Likes 4 Shares (Share⤴) Re: We Never Released Viral Video Showing Passenger Stripped Naked – Ibom Air by frank417: 12:14pm On Aug 12 ednut1: they were trying to grab the blue curtain from her.
