Nigerian comedian Bovi has reversed his stance on the viral Ibom Air passenger incident involving Comfort Emmanson. Initially, Bovi empathized with Emmanson, calling for legal action alongside mental health treatment for her apparent distress during the episode. However, he now demands the arrest of the videographer who recorded and leaked the footage without consent.
Bovi argues that sharing such sensitive and humiliating footage violates the passenger’s privacy and that the videographer should face legal consequences.
The incident began when Emmanson refused to comply with safety rules by keeping her phone on during an Ibom Air flight, escalating into a violent confrontation with crew and airport security.
Despite the airline banning her from future flights and legal charges, the viral video sparked public debate about privacy, social media ethics, and mental health considerations. Bovi’s updated position highlights the need to balance public interest with protecting personal dignity in such cases.
