Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has spoken out against the treatment of Comfort Emmanson, a female passenger who was removed from an Ibom Air flight, describing the incident as a grave violation of her dignity.
In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Njoku acknowledged that the removal of the passenger might have been warranted but condemned the reported stripping of the woman and the subsequent circulation of the footage online.

She wrote, “I understand removing her from the plane, that’s not the issue. What I cannot understand is stripping her while doing so and then putting it all over the internet.”
Njoku went on to stress, “Airline or airport staff are trained professionals, and I refuse to believe that dehumanizing someone, stripping a woman naked, and broadcasting it online is part of that training, no matter what crime she may have committed.”
She also called for the passenger to receive compensation for the damage caused to her dignity and life by the incident.
