A staff of British Airways who made racist comments about Nigerians in a Snapchat video has been identified by the airline and sacked.
The staff was identified Joanne Wickenden.
Her sack, according to the MailOnline, came after she had a two-hour meeting with her bosses.
Wickenden shot the video in her BA uniform before flying from London Heathrow Airport to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Friday night.
The MailOnline is reporting that a statement from the airline said: “She no longer works for British Airways.
“We expect the utmost professionalism from our staff when they are representing British Airways.”
Wickenden, however, told the MailOnline that she was set up by her colleagues to do the joke and they then sent the video out.
She told the MailOnline: “I have been framed by another BA employee.
“They were encouraging me, egging me on to say things.
“They were recording me and sent it around to our friends.
“I don’t want to fly anymore.”
Wickenden had said in the video: “Alright, so all of yous are there getting ready for your Friday night, getting in the pre-drinks, you know, as you do.
“And I’m here, getting ready to go to work, put on a yellow life jacket, point out the exits, hand out chicken or beef, what sort of Friday night is this for me?
“The upside is I’m going to Nigeria and there’s gonna be bare B**, I’m joking, I’m joking.
All the Nigerians are gonna be there like ‘gimme Coca Cola, gimme me beef, why you have no beef left? I want beef’.
“And I’m just gonna be there like, ‘Sorry sir, we ran out of beef’.
“All the Nigerians are gonna be there asking for f****** upgrades because they haven’t got enough leg room because their B**s are in their way. Big d**** like this swinging from side to side.”
