Miss Comfort Emmanson has been remanded at Kirikiri Correctional Facility after a§§aulting Ibom Air staff during a Uyo–Lagos flight.
Tunde Moshood, media aide to the Minister of Aviation, confirmed the development on Monday, noting that the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) plans to intensify enforcement against unruly passengers.
Social media videos show Emmanson att@cking flight attendants and confronting airport security. According to Ibom Air, the incident began before take-off when she refused to switch off her phone, as required by aviation safety rules. A fellow passenger eventually turned it off, sparking a verbal outburst.
Upon landing in Lagos, she allegedly confronted and physically a§§aulted the purser who had given her the safety instruction. The airline said her actions end+ngered crew, passengers, and the aircraft.
Ibom Air has permanently banned Emmanson from its flights, stressing that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
