Simi, a Nigerian pop sensation, has joined the call for punitive action against the airport staff who posted a video of Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson’s indecent exposure.
Simi, in an Instagram story, questioned the fairness of penalising Emmanson for her behaviour while ignoring the conduct of those who recorded and spread the video without cutting out the indecent sections.
The singer stressed that sending out the footage without obscuring Emmanson’s intimate areas violated her privacy and demanded punishment.
“Someone recorded her being dragged off the plane, recorded her being exposed like that, and then posted it without editing out this exposure or blurring it out. I personally want to know who posted that video and why no one is holding him/her accountable. Because they will face the law.”
“But voluntarily posting her half-naked for millions of people to see when less than 10 people actually witnessed it in the first place deserves punishment too because you cannot condemn one madness and leave another one,” she said.
Comfort Emmanson, a passenger on Ibom Air Flight Q153, was involved in a scuffle with flight crew and ground staff after refusing to switch off her phone during takeoff.
The situation escalated, and Emmanson was eventually removed from the plane, with a video of the incident going viral on social media.
