Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of assaulting airline officials aboard an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, has been charged in court and remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos.
Tunde Moshood, special adviser on media and communications to the minister of aviation and aerospace development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, confirmed the development in a post on his official X handle on Monday.
“The more reason the flying public should be more careful, the unruly passenger on the Uyo–Lagos bound Ibom Air, Miss Comfort Emmanson, has been charged to court and she’s now cooling off in Kirikiri,” Moshood wrote.
The incident comes amid fresh warnings from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, which has vowed stricter enforcement actions against disruptive passenger behaviour, a trend it says is on the rise in Nigerian airports.
