Popular singer Simi has blasted whoever recorded and shared a viral video showing Comfort Emmanson, an Ibom Air passenger, being forcibly removed from a flight with her breasts fully exposed.
The dispute, which happened on a flight from Uyo to Lagos, involved a passenger later identified as Comfort Emmanson, and the trouble reportedly started when she refused to follow in-flight safety instructions, including switching off her mobile phone during landing.
Eyewitnesses and footage shared online have since confirmed that Comfort slapped and assaulted the purser, pulled off her wig and stepped on her.
Airport security, including Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) officials, eventually intervened and handed over to the police.
Reacting via her Instagram story, Simi disclosed that while Confort was completely wrong for how she behaved, the person who posted it without blurring out certain images was wrong as well.
“So let’s say the lady is actually mad and did too much… 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. Lol,” she wrote.
The singer further noted that the person behind the recording must be fished out and held accountable.
Simi concluded by saying that the culprit deserves punishment too, stressing that Nigerians should not condemn one madness and ignore another one.
“I personally wanna know who posted that video and why no one is holding him/her accountable. Because aunty 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 can’t condemn one madness and leave another one,” she added.
