Comfort Emmanson, the passenger who was captured assaulting airline officials aboard an Ibom Air flight has been charged to court on Monday.
This was revealed in an X post by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace development’s Special Adviser, Tunde Moshood, on Monday.
“The more reason the flying public should be more careful, the unruly passenger on Uyo-Lagos bound Ibom Air, Miss Comfort Emmanson has been charged to court and she’s now cooling off in Kirikiri.” He wrote.
NPO Reports that the incident occurred on the airline’s Uyo-Lagos flight on Sunday, August 10, 2025.
The passenger was caught in a trending video slapping airline officials and forcibly dragged out by security personnel.
Recall that NPO had reported that the management of Ibom Air has also imposed a travel restriction on her, after noting that she posed threat to flight safety.
Video of the female passenger being dragged out with parts of her body exposed has also caused outrage with many condemning the airline officials.
Ms Emmason’s case is coming less than a week after a similar unruly behaviour was exhibited at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja by popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde popularly called Kwam 1.
The singer was alleged to have poured the content of his flask on a female pilot Oluranti Ogoyi after he was prevented from entering the airplane with a liquid content according to aviation rules.
The singer has since apologised for his unruly behaviour.
While many have said that Ayinde should face the full wrath of the law, some others have said he should be pardoned.
