Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has expressed strong disapproval over the handling of Comfort Emmanson, the female passenger removed from an Ibom Air flight, describing the incident as a gross violation of her dignity.
In a post shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Njoku said she had no issue with the airline offloading the passenger if necessary but condemned the alleged act of stripping her and circulating the footage online.
“I understand removing her from the plane, that’s not the issue.
“What I cannot understand is stripping her while doing so and then putting it all over the internet,” she said.
“Airline or airport staff are trained professionals, and I refuse to believe that dehumanizing someone, stripping a woman naked, and broadcasting it online is part of that training, no matter what crime she may have committed,” Njoku said.
She stressed that the passenger deserves compensation for the “damage done to her life and dignity.”
