Ibom Air has denied any involvement in the release of a viral video showing a passenger in a state of indecent exposure during a recent in-flight altercation.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the airline said it was “in no way responsible” for circulating the footage, which has sparked public outrage and online debate. Ibom Air described the incident as “regrettable” but insisted that it upholds strict protocols to protect the privacy and dignity of all passengers.
The viral clip, reportedly recorded during a confrontation between the passenger and crew members, has drawn criticism from civil society groups, who allege that the dissemination of such material constitutes a breach of privacy. The airline reiterated that it is focused on cooperating with relevant authorities in the ongoing investigation into the matter.
