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.
Big Brother Naija Level Up winner Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has responded to a press statement issued by Dangote Group regarding her sister’s recent accident involving one of the company’s trucks.
A day earlier, Phyna had publicly called out billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote and his company, alleging that the truck, which crashed into her sister, was tampered with by police on the company’s orders to remove its plate number. She warned that while Dangote might have wealth, “he isn’t God,” vowing to pursue justice.
“Appropriate compensation? Quick recovery from an already amputated leg? What necessary speed are you taking right now? Let’s not forget the bike man, who is also in critical condition,” she wrote.

Her response has drawn fresh attention to the case, with many awaiting further updates on both her sister’s and the bike rider’s conditions.

However, she noted that she wants a man who has a private plane, a yatch, and doesn’t have a baby mama.
Her words …
“I am still looking for someone’s son. I don’t have… And I think it’s because I’m asking for specific things. Maybe I need to narrow my search down.
