Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger who went viral last week after she clashed with a flight attendant on a journey from Uyo to Lagos, has finally spoken out.
In a video shared on social media, Comfort accused the flight attendant, Juliana, of riling her up her due to her inability to turn off her phone. She explained that Juliana had approached her during the flight, asking her to turn off her phone. Comfort said her struggle to do so seemed to have irritated the flight attendant, who then said, “You will see.”
After the plane landed, Comfort claimed that the flight attendant decided to prevent her from disembarking, unlike the other passengers.
Comfort recounted that she appealed to the air hostess to let her leave, but her request was denied. She explained that the situation escalated when the air hostess noticed she was recording a video of the incident. Comfort claimed that the air hostess then ripped off her wig and yanked off the gold chain she was wearing, calling her a prostitute. At that moment, her phone also fell, resulting in a broken screen
Comfort said the pain she was feeling after her wig was removed, made her confront Juliana, hitting her severally.
‘’God knows I can never go and poke an elderly woman, Somebody that is old enough to be my mum. Poke her for what? It ws the pain she inflicted on me, the frontal pain, dragging my gold…that was the anger..I was so angry I could not even hold it. That was why I was like asking her ‘why did you do that ’ in the trending video that was posted. I asked her why did you do that because you dragging my frontal me, calling me a prostitute in the process..I just had to ask her ‘why did you do that?’ That was why I poked her”
She said not long after, the airport security arrived, surrounded her, and began to drag her out of the aircraft, and in the process, her top was ripped up. She stated that airport officials began filming her and attempted to touch her body.
Comfort, who is a realtor, says the whole incident has left her traumatized, knowing that her naked body is all over the internet.
