This is what happened:
She boarded Ibom Air from Uyo to Lagos. Before take off a crew member asked her to switched off her phone. She told the crew member that her phone was already set to flight mode. The crew member insisted she should turnoff her phone but the lady refused.
So the crew member when to report to the captain who called the airport security to pick her on arrival in Lagos. An arrangement the innocent lady had no idea of.
So when they arrived Lagos all the passengers were unboarding the plane. The lady tried to come down from the plane like others but a particular air hostess restricted her from going down. At a point they pushed her to sit while others were going down from the plane.
It was then she knew something was wrong and started ranting trying to force her way down. The crew members reenforced in their numbers to keep her aboard for the arrival of the airport security. That was when she started hitting them out of frustration, knowing that she did nothing to deserve such treatment
When the airport security came, they didn't bother asking what happened just as AON did. They came and bullied her out of the plane like a criminal.
After humiliating her from the Airbus as she was crying for what they have done some off the airport security officers were touching her body. Then she said "don't touch me". They insisted and were still touching her and her bag... she continue saying "don't touch me, don't touch my bag..." but they kelpt touching her so she started attacking those officers that were touching her.
That was where the whole thing escalated and she was forced into the security bus and to Kirikiri.
My take is that the Airport Operator of Nigeria (AON) should have given her a fair hearing before baning her from flying for life.
This lady's action does not worth the punishment after being humiliated by exposing her sensitive body part to the world. Baning and sending her to prison is too
much for her crime.
I sympatize with her and pray🙏 she finds a good lawyer that would make Ibom Air, AON and all those involved in this public disgrace pay for the damages done to her image and the trauma she suffers.
