"There's a religious reason for some reason that they're kicking me off the plane. We don't have odour, ok? Nobody here has odour. All of a sudden, as soon as they took us off, they closed the gate and then they said, 'Sorry sir, some people complained you had body odour and we're not letting you back on'."
