Ibom Air passenger share experiences on flight to Enugu

Alex wrote on X:

"I experienced a terrifying moment this morning while flying with Ibom Air to Enugu. The woman seated in front of me, near the emergency exit, attempted to open the door mid-flight. We quickly intervened to prevent a potential disaster. When questioned, she responded with a smile, claiming she wanted to see if the door would open. Airlines should be careful on who they allow on those critical seats."

"She will not succeed in opening it though. The Aircraft emergency door is not like a motor vehicle door that you can easily open if they don’t show you how to."

@MTforChange commented:

"I desperately want this to be a joke, but I feel this is a true story. Did she get arrested?"
