A Nigerian man living in Canada has filed a complaint with an airline after his wife, mother-in-law, and baby were treated unfairly by a passenger and flight attendants.
Adeola Omo Adeyemi, a man, took to Twitter to reveal that his wife, child, and mother-in-law had boarded a Flair Airlines flight.
When his wife boarded the plane, she discovered that a passenger had already taken the seat assigned to her on her flight ticket.
Adeyemi stated that his wife, who initially thought this was a mistake, explained to the passenger that the seat was hers and showed her the seat number on her ticket.
The Caucasian passenger, on the other hand, refused to get out of his or her seat. His wife then approached one of the flight attendants and explained the situation.
The flight attendant who approached the lady and explained that the seat wasn’t hers was also turned down.
Adeyemi claimed that instead of calling security, they told his wife to take another seat, which she refused.
The flight attendants began to point the finger at Adeyemi’s wife, as if she were the problem.
The narrator also revealed that his wife was given the middle finger in front of the crew by a Caucasian passenger, and the attendants did nothing but threaten to eject his wife from the plane.
An excerpt from his post read:
“Racism and Discrimination in Canada.
This woman took my wife’s seat, refused to get up when approached, gave my wife the middle finger afterwards, and staff of @FlairAirlines did nothing. They even threatened to eject my wife, mother and 12 weeks old baby from the plane.”

@SamdGreat01: So sorry your family had to face this.
@FlairAirlines won’t escape this, they must be held accountable
@ScentifiedInc1: Is @flairairline owned by Indians? Why were they afraid to drag the woman off the plane? If the tables were reversed, would they have been that patient?
@tbabson47: Im so sorry your wife had to go through this experience. As someone that’s presently going through this type of experience at work, I can totally relate how devastating this is. I’m fighting one as well and I pray we conquer.
@Orikings: I’m so sorry about your experience and can’t imagine what you had to go through. I do hope the airline look into this for you and family!
@COkwenna: So sorry for you and your family. I will never board @FlairAirlines
You guys should get yourself together. And apologize to your customers you have offended.
@4leafklover: I’m sorry your wife experienced this. It’s sad this kind of thing still happens in 2023. @FlairAirlines, do better and stop discriminatory acts against your passengers.
@Zuby215: Really terrible experience. I hope the media amplifies this, and I hope your family gets justice. So sorry to hear this, Chief.
