Unruly passenger: Ibom apologises for delay to Abuja-Lagos flight

Ibom Air said it forcefully disembarked an unruly passenger on one of its 6pm Abuja to Lagos flights and has apologised for the delay the disembarkation caused the flight.

The airline in a statement signed by Group Manager, Marketing and Communication, Aniekan Essienette said it was important to put out the right perspective.

The statement read,”We wish to inform the public about an incident on our 6 pm flight from Abuja to Lagos on Friday, 31 March 2023.

“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 apologise 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.
