Enugu Air, the Enugu State-owned commercial airline, which launched operations in July, has sparked online attention after a passenger was forcibly removed from one of its flights.
A video circulating on social media shows officials dragging a male passenger off the aircraft.
In the footage, a voice is heard saying, “Yes, yes, go down,” suggesting that some bystanders appeared to support the action.
The passenger has not been identified, and neither the airline nor the individual involved has issued a statement explaining what transpired.
A plane, clearly marked with the Enugu Air logo, was captured on camera as the passenger was being led away amid visible chaos.
This is coming after a series of high-profile airline confrontations, including Comfort Emmanson’s clash with flight attendants on an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, and King Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate, reportedly involved in a dispute with ValueJet Airlines at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Observers online have drawn comparisons between these cases, highlighting growing concerns about passenger–airline interactions in Nigerian domestic flights.
The reason behind the incident is yet to be unraveled.
