Ibom Air: Comfort Emmanson’s Lawyer Speaks On Her Next Plan After Release From Kirikiri Prison

Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger recently released from Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos after an altercation with the airline’s crew, has yet to decide whether to press charges against the carrier.

Her lawyer, Adefunke Maria, disclosed this on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Thursday, condemning the treatment her client received from the airline’s flight attendant, who allegedly blocked her from disembarking after a flight from Akwa Ibom to Lagos last Sunday.

Maria said, “On the way forward, whether Comfort will allow the sleeping dogs lie, she will inform us, we can’t disclose that online. She is a full-grown adult. If she is going to press civil charges for compensation, she will let us know. But for now, we can’t decide for her. She will revert.

“For now, she just needs to rest, put herself together.”

Recall that viral videos showed Emmanson and a flight attendant engaging in a physical altercation as security officials tried to intervene. While many Nigerians criticised her aggressive reaction, others faulted the attendant for preventing her from leaving the aircraft.

Particular outrage was directed at the alleged indecent exposure Emmanson suffered during the confrontation with ground staff at the Lagos airport.

Maria accused the airline’s staff of filming the incident and leaking the footage online, an action she strongly condemned.

Emmanson was arrested at the airport, arraigned in court, and remanded in prison the same day. The speed of her prosecution fuelled accusations of selective justice, with calls for similar treatment of Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, also known as Kwam 1, who attempted to block a moving ValueJet aircraft in Abuja on August 5, 2025, but was not prosecuted.

On August 13, 2025, Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, ordered that all charges against Emmanson be dropped, leading to her release. He also directed airline operators to lift the lifetime flying ban imposed on her.

Despite her release, social media users continue to urge her to seek legal redress. For now, her lawyer says she is taking time to rest and “put herself together” before deciding on her next move.

I Left Them Because What Is Happening In This Country Is Not Right – Tambuwal Blasts APC

The former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal has revealed that he left the All Progressives Congress because they refused to do the right thing for Nigerians.
According to him, he joined the Africa Democratic Congress (ADC) opposition coalition to rescue Nigerians.
Speaking in Sokoto shortly after being received by an overwhelming crowd of supporters, Tambuwal promised that the coalition would soon unveil a comprehensive policy agenda aimed at tackling insecurity, reviving the economy, and improving citizens’ welfare.
He lamented that the All Progressives Congress-led administration has failed to address insecurity, the economy, and the welfare of Nigerians, describing governance as lacking “a human face.”
He said, “I remain committed to democracy, the rule of law, and good governance. No agency can make me abandon these principles. What is going on in this country is not right, and that is why I left the APC in 2018. All the reasons I left are even more present now.”
He said that despite the President’s powers, decisive steps such as recruiting more security personnel have not been taken.
On claims that the coalition is being built to advance Atiku Abubakar’s ambition, Tambuwal said, “This coalition is not about any individual. It is about rescuing Nigeria. PDP, Labour Party, NNPP and other political forces are coming together to give Nigerians a credible alternative.”
On fuel subsidy removal, Tambuwal recalled opposing any abrupt withdrawal without cushioning measures.
 
“When I was Speaker, I warned against removing subsidies without a framework to protect the people. It was removed unilaterally, and Nigerians are paying the price.”
The senator urged Nigerians to unite behind leaders committed to real reform, assuring that the coalition will offer a governance model rooted in compassion, competence, and accountability.

Aminu Tambuwal Reveals What He Told EFCC During Interrogation

Former Governor of Sokoto State and serving Senator, Aminu Tambuwal has revealed what he told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officials during interrogation.
He stated this in Sokoto after returning from what he described as a “brief visit” to EFCC custody.
Tambuwal revealed that he honoured an invitation from the commission on August 6, where he was questioned and released, but asked to return on August 10 and 11.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives said that after hours of questioning on his follow-up visit, EFCC operatives insisted on stringent bail conditions before he could be released.
He said, “I told them to go back and tell the chairman of the EFCC that I am a former Speaker of the House of Representatives with an unblemished record, a two-term Governor of Sokoto State, a serving Senator, and a Commander of the Order of the Niger. I should be allowed to go on self-recognition.”
Tambuwal stated that his legal team, comprising three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, had appealed to the EFCC to vary the bail terms, but the operatives refused, forcing him to spend the night in detention. He was released the next morning after meeting the conditions.
Tambuwal questioned the timing of the EFCC’s actions, suggesting they were politically motivated. He accused the Sokoto State government of setting up a “kangaroo commission of inquiry” to probe his tenure.
“Why now?” he asked, linking the episode to efforts aimed at discrediting him for being critical of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“In Nigeria today, there are two lines: those with Bola Tinubu and his government, and those with the people of Nigeria. We chose to stand with the people.”
He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of selective justice, saying, “Once you join the APC, whatever your sins, they are forgiven.”
The senator ruled out any political realignment, vowing to remain with the coalition for national rescue.
“I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be blackmailed. No one can tarnish my record,”Tambuwal stated.

Russia and Ukraine exchange 84 prisoners each, families rejoice

Amid ongoing diplomatic meetings between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, Russia and Ukraine have carried out a prisoner swap, with each side releasing 84 individuals.

The exchange is the latest in a series of swaps that have seen hundreds of prisoners of war (POWs) returned so far this year.

The swap came just ahead of a high-level summit in Alaska between the two leaders on Friday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted that the released prisoners included both military personnel and civilians, some held since 2014, 2016, and 2017.

Among them were defenders of Mariupol, the Ukrainian port city that fell to Russian forces in 2022 following a nearly three-month siege.

Families of returning soldiers expressed overwhelming relief. Tetiana Turkoman, mother of a soldier captured during Mariupol’s fall, said her son had been in captivity for more than three years.

“Thank God, we awaited him,” she said, adding that she had a “feeling” he would be released and decided to come witness the exchange.

Anastasia, whose husband Artur Ivanik was also among those freed, described the emotional reunion:

“I don’t know how many times I’ve been to the exchanges, hoping that my husband will be there. Artur! Artur Ivanik! My God!”

The Russian Defence Ministry stated that the United Arab Emirates had mediated the swap and confirmed that returning Russian personnel were receiving psychological and medical support.

Large-scale prisoner exchanges have been among the few tangible outcomes of three rounds of peace talks held in Istanbul between Russian and Ukrainian delegations from May to July.

In the last round of negotiations, both countries agreed to exchange 1,200 POWs each, with Russia also offering the bodies of 3,000 soldiers killed during the conflict.

Tinubu will win more than 32 states in 2027 – ADC member

A Nigerian politician and member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Leke Joseph Abejide, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will win 32 out of 36 states in the 2027 presidential election.

He made this statement in an exclusive interview with Seun, a correspondent of Channels TV, which was later shared on popular social media platform TikTok.

During the conversation, Seun noted that many believe the current administration could have handled certain matters differently and also mentioned speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan might contest in 2027.

“Asiwaju will win 32 states,” he declared. When asked which states Tinubu might lose, he cited Anambra and Abia but added that Tinubu could even surpass the 32-state mark.

His bold prediction has since sparked widespread reactions, with many trooping to the comment section of the post to share their views.

See some reactions below: 

ETE ADEBAYO: “These are the people DECIEVING TINUBU

barry: “I STILL THINK EL-RUFAI IS STILL WORKING FOR TINUBU UNDERGROUND. ASK ME Y.”

Deprof: “Tinubu is trying,let’s be truthful,people are just sentimental basing their anger on petroleum price,naira devalue and price of food hike…let’s support him,he will tackle this area soon.”

Mauriz: “Jonathan will disgrace himself if he dare contest. He’ll come fourth.”

Ennydeecom: “APC believe in inec, because inec do it for them in 2023.”

Pharm.Umar Gombe: “this what Tinubu is being told everyday that people are happy.”
