Catholic priest Emmanuel Ehioma, popularly known as Fada Mentor, has advised people who repeatedly watch the viral video showing Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson’s nude exposure to seek confession, warning of the moral implications of intentional replays.
Ehioma, a parish priest and social media commentator known for addressing moral and social issues from a Catholic perspective, said in a Facebook post that viewing the footage once without expecting it was not sinful, but deliberately watching it again crossed a moral line and required sacramental absolution. He cautioned that repeatedly consuming such content could desensitise viewers and erode empathy.

His remarks have drawn mixed reactions online. Some users agreed with his moral guidance, saying the repeated circulation of the clip was dehumanising, while others argued that rewatching served as evidence of alleged mistreatment. Rights groups maintain the leak violated Emmanson’s privacy and dignity, and have renewed calls for sanctions against those responsible for sharing the footage.
