    Female passenger who ass@ulted Ibom Air staff remanded in Kirikiri prison

    Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of assaulting airline officials aboard an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, has been charged to court and remanded in 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 drama unfolded on Sunday, August 10, at the Lagos airport when the female passenger arriving on an Ibom Air flight from Uyo became visibly agitated and physically confronted staff.

    In one alarming moment, she was seen physically assaulting a female flight attendant inside the aircraft.

    The situation escalated beyond verbal exchanges, prompting intervention from airport police, who eventually bundled her into an airport shuttle before restoring order.

    The confrontation stemmed from the passenger’s refusal to comply with safety procedures requiring passengers to switch off their mobile phones.
