Following a viral video of a physical altercation on an Ibom Air flight, veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has commented on the incident. The video showed a passenger, identified as Ms. Comfort Emmanson, being removed from a Uyo-Lagos flight, during which her clothing became disorganized.
The incident reportedly began after Emmanson allegedly ignored repeated requests from the flight crew to turn off her mobile phone before takeoff. According to reports, this led to a confrontation that escalated as airline staff attempted to remove her from the aircraft. The video of the event subsequently sparked a debate online, with some criticizing the airline for its handling of the situation and for the alleged manhandling of a passenger.
In reaction to the video, Kate Henshaw issued a statement on her social media. She was quoted as saying, “I always advocate for ladies to wear good, supportive bras. It is very important. You never know when a situation like this might occur! This was not good at all… I no even see this video.”

Ibom Air also announced its intention to pursue legal action against the passenger to protect its staff from assault. The incident has led to widespread public discussion concerning passenger conduct, airline protocols, and the use of force by airline personnel.
