Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has stepped in to settle the case between Ibom Air and passenger Comfort Emmanson.

The minister has told Ibom Air to withdraw its case against her and asked the Inspector General of Police to arrange her release from Kirikiri prison.

What Happened

Comfort Emmanson was sent to Kirikiri prison after she was accused of misbehaving on an Ibom Air flight. A video of the incident went viral, with many Nigerians debating if the punishment was too harsh.

Why She’s Being Released

According to the minister, Emmanson has shown remorse for her actions. He believes the matter should be resolved peacefully while still reminding passengers to always follow airline safety rules.

What’s Next

With the airline dropping the case, the police are expected to complete the legal steps needed to free her soon.

This decision has sparked mixed reactions—some say it’s the right thing to do, while others believe it sends the wrong message about unruly behavior on flights.
