A female passenger has fought with Ibom Air flight officials during an altercation.
She was alleged to have assaulted a flight attendant and confronted airport security officials at the Murtala Muhammed International airport, Lagos, on Sunday.
A video of the incident showed the agitated passenger, dressed in a white top and black trousers, yelling at officials who attempted to pacify her.
She is also seen, in one video, physically attacking a female air hostess, with eyewitnesses claiming she slapped the crew member.
However, she was later bundled out of the plane.
Reacting to the latest incident, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu, attributed the confrontation to the passenger’s refusal to comply with crew instructions.
In a post on X late Sunday, he said: “When cabin crew ask you to turn off your phone before takeoff or landing, simply comply. I can’t understand why simple routine issues would lead to incidents like this.
“Passengers need to understand they have responsibilities, not just rights. More details will be addressed tomorrow.”
