Ibom Air saga: Emmanson sues FG, NCAA, others for N500bn over alleged aviation impunity

LAGOS — Public interest lawyer, Ayodele Ademiluyi, has dragged the Federal Government, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, and several other parties before the Federal High Court, Lagos, demanding N500 billion in damages over what he described as a blatant breach of the rule of law in handling two aviation infractions involving popular musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, and passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson.

The suit, filed under the number FHC/L/CS/1632/25, lists as respondents: the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN), NCAA, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Ibom Air, ValueJet, the Nigerian Correctional Service, King Wasiu Ayinde, the Nigerian Police Force, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, the state’s Attorney-General, and the Airline Operators of Nigeria.

Addressing a press conference, Ademiluyi, who is also convener of the Movement for Justice and Secretary of the Radical Gender Movement stated that the action was necessary to enforce accountability and protect the public interest.

According to him, the matter transcends the personalities involved and points to systemic decay in the aviation sector.

“Our aviation system needs a complete overhauling. We cannot allow impunity to reign or degenerate into a banana republic where someone can stop a plane with their bare hands and walk away without consequence,” he said.

The lawyer criticised the handling of the two incidents, alleging an imbalance in the treatment of both parties.

He accused authorities of failing to arrest, arraign, or prosecute King Wasiu despite allegations against him, while Emmanson faced immediate sanctions.

He said: “It’s a gross imbalance. There was no arrest, no arraignment, no prosecution of Mr. Kwam 1. In fact, he was rewarded with a brand ambassadorship for the aviation sector. What message does that send to the public?”

He argued that the appointment of King Wasiu as a brand ambassador was inappropriate and undermined the integrity of the sector.

Good way to go. This terrorist APC regime can't keep terrorizing everyone and we continue to keep quiet.

If the airline, NCAA, and the FG revisit her case too, she may be sent back to jail for a very long time. She should understand that. It's both ways too and she won't even get the justice she yarns for. She should rethink well and use whatever happens to gain more grand in whatever businesses she is doing and connect well to those that can genuinely lift her up. After all, she has started getting more offers .
She should be weary of hungry lawyers that will push her back to jail for their selfish cash out.

It is nothing serious. She has apologized for being driven by emotion.

RichBoy247:
Can you apologise and then sue the person who apologised to and admitted to have wronged?

AWONEYAN:
They have finally deceived her to scam.

People who told her she has a good case did not look at the side where she was slapping air hostess and law enforcement agent.

Using fire extinguisher to attack.
