Lawyer backs embattled Ibom Air passenger
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported on a lawyer explaining why the embattled Ibom Air passenger would win the airline in court.
He noted that she could demand hundreds of millions in compensation, given how she was treated and how her body was exposed online.
The legal practitioner said the law frowns on unwanted physical contact, especially in a forceful removal enforced by unauthorised people.
Joseph Omotayo, the HOD of the Human Interest, contributed to this report, adding relevant embeds.
