Ibom Air apologises over anti-Tinubu person on flight

Ibom Air has apologised over the display of an anti-Tinubu passenger on its Abuja to Lagos flight on Friday.

In a statement by its Group Manager, Marketing and Communication, Aniekan Essienette the airline said the airline takes the safety of its passengers seriously.

The statement reads: “A passenger stood up and began addressing other passengers in a manner considered inappropriate and unruly, as he was making other passengers nervous.

“Our crew deemed his continuous unruly behavior unsafe and called on airport security to help with the situation. Upon his refusal to stop or disembark peacefully, the security operatives were left with no choice but to forcefully disembark the passenger as a last option.

“We are aware that several videos and reports of this incident are circulating on social media and wish to provide the right perspective.

“Ibom Air wishes to assure our passengers that we maintain very high safety and service standards and will never compromise the safety and security of our passengers.

“We apologize to the affected passengers for the time it took to disembark this passenger, which caused an otherwise on-time departure to be delayed by an hour.”
