Ibom Air Passenger Denies Filing N500b Lawsuit Against FG by dre11(op): 8:58pm On Aug 17, 2025

By : Olayide Soaga

Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger who was arraigned for allegedly violently attacking a purser, has denied filing a N500 billion lawsuit against the Federal Government and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).Newspaper subscription bundles

In a post shared on her Instagram story, Emmanson described the report, which she said has gone viral, as false and misleading.
She added that she will inform the general public whenever she takes such legal action against the Federal Government.

“I have not taken any such legal action yet. When I eventually do anything of such nature (which is imminent), I will personally update the public myself via my official page,” she wrote.

On an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, Emmanson reportedly refused to switch off her cellphone as instructed during a safety announcement. She was reported to have attacked a purser.

The airline filed charges against her, leading to her arraignment. The Airline Operators of Nigeria banned her from flying for life, but the ban was later lifted.Newspaper subscription bundles

On August 13, following consultations led by Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, the police withdrew all charges against Emmanson. The court approved the withdrawal and discharged the case.

That story originated from an X handle who's been very notorious for posting and propagating LP propaganda.

The moment I saw it, I knew something wasn't right, because nothing is ever right about what he posts.

It was even clear in the original news that a certain lawyer, perhaps chasing clout, filed the suit.

When she chooses that path, i hope she loses. She winning will encourage more indiscipline in flight, lewd dressing in public place and bad aggressive behavior at times when it is to remain calm. Airlines should also value customer complaints on rude and powerhungry staff.

As at when the houses in Ibadan with brown roofs were built, their ancestors in the 5 tiny states were still living in trees and fighting over bananas.

She is o. We don't turn her to celeb because of bobby. We Nigerian men will never have sense. I saw somewhere that the assault video was viewed over 33 million times. Tell me that we are not mad in this country.
