Unruly Ibom Air Passenger, Comfort Emmanson, Charged and Remanded in Kirikiri Prison

In a strong statement aimed at protecting aviation safety and ensuring passenger discipline, authorities have confirmed that Comfort Emmanson, the passenger whose disruptive behavior caused a scene on an Ibom Air flight, has been charged to court and remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.


The disclosure was made by Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, following a briefing from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). According to Moshood, “The unruly passenger on the Uyo to Lagos Ibom Air flight, Miss Comfort Emmanson, has been charged to court and she is now cooling off in Kirikiri.”

Reports indicate that Emmanson allegedly assaulted airline officials during the Uyo to Lagos flight. While full details of the altercation remain undisclosed, aviation authorities have described her actions as disruptive, unacceptable, and potentially dangerous to flight safety.

Following the incident, the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) announced an indefinite life ban on Emmanson, barring her from boarding flights with any of its member airlines both within Nigeria and internationally. This decisive action comes amid a series of recent high-profile cases of unruly passengers, including a popular musician and a senator who both engaged in disruptive behavior on flights.

AON spokesperson, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, noted that the aviation industry cannot afford to tolerate conduct that threatens the safety, reputation, and smooth operations of air travel.

Earlier in the year, the NCAA warned that disruptive passenger behavior could lead to serious legal consequences, including criminal charges. Offenses such as obstructing flight operations, assaulting crew members, or refusing to comply with in-flight safety rules can attract severe penalties, and in extreme situations, be treated under anti-terrorism laws.

This renewed enforcement drive reflects a growing determination among aviation regulators and airlines to maintain discipline and safeguard passengers and crew.

With her remand in Kirikiri, Emmanson will face judicial proceedings to determine the legal consequences of her actions. Meanwhile, aviation authorities continue to urge the public to exercise patience, courtesy, and compliance with safety rules while traveling.
