Backlash Erupts As Wike’s Media Aide Lere Olayinka Faces Heat Over Comment On Ibom Air Passenger

Nigerians on social media have criticized Lere Olayinka, media aide to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, over a post he made on X this morning concerning Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson.

Emmanson made headlines this week following a confrontation with an air hostess, an incident that drew national attention after a viral video showed her breasts being exposed. She was arraigned on Monday, August 11, and subsequently remanded in Kirikiri Prison.

Earlier today, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, announced his intervention in the matter, confirming that Emmanson would be released from prison this week and all charges against her dropped.

In response to the update, Olayinka shared a sultry photo of Emmanson on X and accompanied it with a mocking comment.
