"As more images emerge, all I can say is that she's not herself. She's under the influence of something. She will be herself when it all simmers down. E be like the first time I smoked weed...some demons were running after me with helicopter and arrows. Imagine and arrow."

@OluwaViolence said:

"She’s very aggressive…..and this is what she would’ve be displaying that led to that exposure of her body. When you are about to pity her gbam u will see the worse of her. Some of these officers even try they didn’t touch her."

@Kinzuah said:

"Nothing is wrong with her jare. She's just badly behaved and probably badly raised. These people believe they belong to a generation above even the laws of nature. She'll learn."

Ibom Air gives explanation after the altercation

Meanwhile, Ibom Air has given an explanation of what happened between its air hostess and the passenger.

Ibom Air accused Ms Emmanson of attacking the air hostess and other ground staff at the Lagos airport.

The airline said:

"Shortly before take-off from Uyo, Ms. Emmanson was instructed in line with standard aviation safety procedures to switch off her mobile phone. She bluntly refused to comply until the Pilot-in-Command made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off. This action prompted a verbal tirade from Ms. Emmanson. The situation was eventually calmed, and the flight departed as scheduled."

The airline said that after the aircraft landed, Ms. Emmanson waited for the purser, who earlier told her to switch off her phone. Ms. Emmanson was allegedly the one who confronted the air crew member and attacked her.

She walked up to the unsuspecting Purser, stepped on her, forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses and threw it to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her. She slapped her several times and when the other cabin crew member tried to intervene, she slapped her too. She then attempted to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act that could have damaged and grounded the aircraft."
