In a post on her verified Instagram account, @soft_commy, the young woman claimed that a flight attendant, known only as Julian Edwards, forcibly removed her frontal wig, cut her gold jewelry, and damaged her mobile phones.
She stated that the altercation intensified after she confronted the crew member about the damage to her personal items. Additionally, she alleged that the air hostess insulted her and initially barred her from leaving the aircraft.
The passenger expressed that the incident left her traumatized, noting that the spread of her private images on social media has exacerbated her distress.
“I want to first thank God Almighty and everyone who supported me and fought for me while I was in prison. When I was released, the love and support I received were beyond my expectations for someone like me. God bless you all.
“On August 10, I took a flight from Uyo to Lagos, and everything was proceeding normally. The lady, Juliana, was instructing everyone to turn off their phones. When she approached me, I was having difficulty with my phone, and she insisted that I turn it off.
“I explained that one of my phones was malfunctioning. The button was broken, and she insisted I could turn it off without the power button. I had two phones, and the man next to me helped me turn off the other one.
“While she was speaking, she instructed me to go to my settings and then to general. I asked her to take the phone off that setting, but she refused,” she recounted.
