Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, simply known as Simi, has urged authority concerned to sanction the airport staff who leaked the indecent footage showing Comfort Emmanson, passenger on Ibom Air plane.
The mother of one made the call in a recent post she shared on her official Instagram page.
Emmanson, who boarded Ibom Air Flight Q153 on Monday, was involved in a scuffle with flight crew and ground staff after refusing to switch off her phone during takeoff.
The situation later escalated, and Emmanson was forcefully removed from the plane, leading to her body parts being exposed in the process.
Hours after the saga, a video of the incident went viral on social media without being edited.

Reacting to the development, Simi questioned the fairness in punishing Emmanson for her behavior while ignoring the actions of those who recorded and shared the video without editing it.
The 37-year-old singer went on to emphasize that sharing the video without blurring out Emmanson’s private parts was an invasion of her privacy and deserved punishment.
“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. I personally want to know who posted that video and why no one is holding him/her accountable. Because they 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 cannot condemn one madness and leave another one,” Simi wrote.
