A Nigerian lady was sent off a Turkish airline plane on Tuesday for allegedly attacking one of the airline’s hostesses.

The incident occurred on an Abuja-bound plane from Istanbul on Tuesday, reports said.

Witnesses said the Nigerian asked the white hostess to give her water, but the hostess refused because the flight had not taken off.

After a while, the Nigerian lady reportedly asked the hostess for water again and the hostess gave the same answer explaining that they serve water only when the aircraft is already airborne.

The lady was said to have snatched the cup out of the hostess’ hand and spilled water on her body.

The hostess got angry and reported to the head pilot who immediately contacted the police to remove the lady from the plane.
