- Keyamo said that there was nothing wrong with the capturing of her unruly behaviour on video as evidence in court but the release of the video to the public to demean her was abhorrent and unacceptable.
The release of an unpleasant and indecent video of embattled Ibom Air Passenger, Comfort Emmanson, is unacceptable, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has said
Recall that Emmanson made headlines on Monday after she was accused of assaulting a crew member of the airline on Sunday, leading to a series of events that eventually landed her in prison on Monday.
Keyamo said that there was nothing wrong with the capturing of her unruly behaviour on video as evidence in court but the release of the video to the public to demean her was abhorrent and unacceptable.
In a post on his X page on Monday, the minister said he had directed that whoever published the indecent part of the video should be identified and sanctioned.
“Whilst we support the filming of her recalcitrant behaviour as evidence to prosecute her, what is deplorable is to release such evidence containing indecent exposure to the public to ridicule her. That is totally unacceptable to us.
“We will not fold our arms and tolerate the debasing of womanhood. I have therefore directed that whoever RELEASED that part of the video containing the indecent exposure amongst the staff should be singled out and adequately sanctioned,” Keyamo said.
The minister also underscored the need for airlines to constantly train their employees, especially in the areas of de-escalation of tense and volatile situations.
“I have also directed that the airlines must continue to train and retrain their staff in public relations and how to deal with potentially explosive situations to diffuse them promptly or nip them in the bud, except when it becomes inevitable,” he said. U
