Nigerian music star Simi has called for legal action against the airport staff responsible for leaking the viral indecent video of Comfort Emmanson, a passenger involved in a scuffle on an Ibom Air flight. In her Instagram story, Simi criticized the act of sharing the video without blurring out intimate parts, emphasizing that this is an invasion of privacy and deserving of punishment.
She pointed out the unfairness of punishing Comfort Emmanson alone while those who recorded and disseminated the video face no accountability. Simi demanded to know the identity of the person who posted the footage and urged that they be held legally responsible for posting the indecent exposure to millions online.
This plea for justice comes amid widespread public debate over the incident, highlighting concerns on privacy, dignity, and the handling of unruly passengers.
The incident involved Comfort Emmanson refusing to switch off her phone on the Ibom Air flight, leading to a confrontation and her removal from the plane. The leaked video intensified the controversy, prompting Simi and others to speak out against the violations of Emmanson's rights.
