Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An eyewitness, David Ogede, who was on the flight with Comfort Emmanson when she had an encounter with an Ibom Air flight attendant on Sunday, has recounted what transpired between the two persons.<\/p>\n

Ogede made the revelation on Thursday, when he was answering questions on The Morning Brief, a programme on Channels Television.<\/p>\n

According to Ogede, a lawyer, the unnamed air hostess came in for trouble when she approached Emmanson on the flight to switch off her phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard everything that transpired and yes, she was triggered. Sitting there, I actually felt humiliated with the way the air hostess was speaking to her. To be fair, Ibom Air instructed very clearly that everyone should switch off their phones, no flight mode.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe air hostess spoke to Ms. Emmanson to switch off her phone. She told her twice. The second air hostess, who is the one blocking Emmanson, came towards us in the emergency and stood. Even from her posture, you would see that she came for trouble. And Ms. Emmanson had been struggling with her phone. I noticed she was trying to do some stuff, I don\u2019t know. And so she told her again, switch off your phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Miss Emmanson said clearly to her, \u2018I heard it. Please, the buttons on my phone are not working. They are not working, so I don\u2019t know how to switch the phone off.\u2019 And the woman said, \u2018No, switch off your phone.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Emmanson said, \u2018Okay, I don\u2019t know how to do it. Can you do it for me?\u2019 The air hostess said, \u2018I\u2019m not touching your phone. I\u2019m not touching your phone, just switch it off. I don\u2019t have time for your nonsense. Just switch it off,\u2019\u201d Ogede said.<\/p>\n
