David Ukesone, a 71-year-old man from Nigeria, claims that the crew of a flight bound for Chicago hit him, tied him up, and taped his mouth shut, all because he accidentally sat in the wrong seat.
Attorney Howard Schaffner said Ukesone flew from Nigeria to Dubai “with no incident at all.” But when he got on Emirates flight EK 235, that all changed.
Ukesone had to use the bathroom partway through the flight, but when he came back, he accidentally missed his assigned seat, 35D, and sat in a different spot that was “very close” to where he meant to be.
Ukesone, who speaks and understands English, “has some difficulty understanding” it when it’s spoken by someone who is not Nigerian, according to Schaffner. That may have contributed to his confusion when a flight attendant showed up and berated him for being in the wrong seat.
