Professor speaks on Ibom Air experience
Shortly after the news went viral, it was reported that Comfort was remanded in Kirikiri prison after being charged in court.
As Nigerians analysed the situation, the professor asked 3 thought-provoking questions about the situation and what the passenger did.
On her X page, she spoke about how Comfort was treated and called for justice.
She said:
“The Ibom Air flight saga involving a crew member and an unruly passenger, Comfort—more like nobody's daughter and now in a difficult situation —serves as a powerful reflection of the complexities in our society. Facing both a lifetime ban from Ibom Air and criminal charges for alleged assault, Comfort's situation highlights the adage: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." She has been swiftly charged. In this case, justice appears to be influenced by status and circumstances, raising questions about fairness and accountability for everyone, regardless of their position in society.”
She added:
“While I condemn any form of violence, whether in public or private spheres, I advocate for the protection and dignity of all individuals involved in conflict resolution, as well as the possibility of redemption after mistakes. Therefore, I urge that justice be tempered with mercy in this case. Is Comfort unaware that her actions were unlawful and punishable by law? Don't you think she is also a victim of assault? Would you prefer that the law should run its full course?"

"Prof... With due respect. That lady .... Miss Comfort was not unruly, she was provoked by that Air hostess."
@JerryUgwuanyi said:
"Why and how was it impossible to restrain her without unndressing her? Things just keep getting worse in this country. Who will pursue restitution for her?"
@Ann_Blend said:
"Girl is in Kirikiri awaiting hearing in about a month, because of what?? All in 24 hours? I hope a big figure isn’t trying to punish her because I’m not understanding."
