    Eyewitness Emerges in Ibom Air Passenger Clash, NCAA Launches Investigation

    The spokesperson of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Michael Achimugu, says a male passenger who sat next to Comfort Emmanson, the lady who had a clash with a hostess on the flight has come forward to give his testimony of what transpired.

    Achimugu said the testimony of the male passenger offers an opportunity to look at the manner in which airline operators treat their passengers before the flight takes off.

    He wrote: “Sequel to this, the passenger seated right next to the lady in the viral videos has contacted me (also sent in his boarding pass) and given HIS account of the events that transpired on the aircraft BEFORE departure.

    “Some aspects of his testimony offer an opportunity to look at other perspectives of this case, especially the behaviour of other actors involved and the manner of passenger handling before the flight took off.

    Although he says he will release a statement later today, the Authority has issued an LOI to Ibom Air and will invite both airline and eye witnesses to a meeting.

    The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development and the NCAA have a remarkable record of protecting the rights of all stakeholders in this industry and will continue to do so.

    One is glad that a truly verifiable witness has come forward, and his statement makes me glad not to have listened to most of the fake audios and claims flying around social media.

    There is a lot to unbundle, and we will get to the root of it. Rest assured that every culpable party in this case will be held accountable.”
