Emmanuel Ehioma, a Catholic priest, has asked repeated
viewers of the now-viral Ibom Air passenger footage to head for confession.
Ehioma warned that rewatching the footage crosses a moral
line.
On Sunday, videos shared on X showed Comfort Emmanson, a
passenger, hitting a flight attendant on an Ibom Air plane and confronting
airport security officials.
Ibom Air imposed a travel restriction on the passenger for
her conduct.
In the initial videos shared, Emmanson’s shirt was
noticeably torn amid the kerfuffle.
Afterwards, more videos surfaced showing the passenger being
forcefully dragged off the aircraft, with her clothes torn and her breasts
fully exposed as she made to conceal them.
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) called for the prosecution
of those who captured and published the “unedited” video of the passenger.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ehioma acknowledged that
viewers of the video did not sin initially because they did not expect what was
coming.
“But if you went back to watch it again, you have to go for
confession,” he said.
“This post doesn’t need to make you feel good,” he added,
equating watching the video to viewing adult videos and obscene pictures.
“The second, third, fourth and other times you went back to
watch that video were because of your hunger to see her nude and feel good
about it, just the same way you act towards porns,” the reverend father said.
“It is really regrettable to see husbands, fathers and even
wives and mothers, describing a lady’s breasts. It felt so terrible.
“Kindly meet your Priest and confess to the Lord.”
The NBA said it would provide Emmanson with pro bono legal
support to ensure her rights are protected and that she obtains redress for the
violations suffered.
