Catholic Priest Urges Those Who Repeatedly Watched The Viral Ibom Air Passenger Video To Go For Confession
Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Ehioma, has advised those who repeatedly watched the viral video of an Ibom Air passenger’s altercation,where she was left partially exposed,to seek confession.
The footage, shared on X, showed Comfort Emmanson h+tting a flight attendant and confronting airport security. Later clips captured her being dr+gged off the aircraft with her clothes t+rn, exposing her br+ast. Ibom Air has banned her from its flights, while the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) condemned the publication of the “unedited” clip and vowed to offer her pro bono legal support.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ehioma said viewers were not at fault the first time, as they did not anticipate n+dity. “But if you went back to watch it again, you have to go for confession,” he wrote, likening repeated viewing to consuming p+rnogr@phy
“The second, third, fourth and other times you went back… were because of your hunger to see her n+de… It is really regrettable to see husbands, fathers, and even wives and mothers describing a lady’s br+ast,” he said. “Kindly meet your Priest and confess to the Lord.”
The NBA pledged to ensure Emmanson’s rights are protected and to pursue redress for any v+olations she suffered.
