Wed Feb 05 15:20:32 UTC 2025: ## Nigerian Woman Deported After Airport Tantrum, Sanitary Pad Incident
**Nairobi, Kenya** – A Nigerian passenger, Gloria Omisore, was deported from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after a disruptive outburst involving the throwing of used sanitary pads at airline staff. The incident occurred when Ms. Omisore was denied boarding on a Kenya Airways flight from Lagos to Manchester due to a lack of the required French visa for her Paris layover.
According to Kenya Airways and eyewitness accounts, Ms. Omisore became aggressive after being offered an alternative flight to London. She refused the rerouting and demanded compensation, escalating the situation by throwing three used sanitary pads at check-in staff. A video of the altercation shows Ms. Omisore engaging in a heated argument with airline personnel, demanding a sanitary towel and refusing to surrender her phone. One check-in agent reportedly responded by telling her to “Call the president of Nigeria.”
Kenya Airways released a statement condemning Ms. Omisore’s behavior, emphasizing that it does not provide accommodation for passengers denied boarding due to visa issues. The airline stressed its commitment to a safe and respectful work environment for its staff.
Following discussions between Nigerian and Kenyan aviation authorities, a decision was made to deport Ms. Omisore back to Nigeria on the same day. A spokesperson for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the deportation, stating that the matter was resolved amicably between all parties involved. The incident highlights the importance of passengers ensuring they possess all necessary travel documents before arriving at the airport.
