Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of unruly behaviour aboard an Ibom Air flight, has broken her silence following her release from prison.
Her freedom came on Wednesday after an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court in Ogba, Lagos, struck out the five-count charge against her. Presiding Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami discharged her after the police formally requested to withdraw the case.
Police Prosecutor Oluwabunmi Adeitan told the court that both the airline and the complainant were no longer interested in pursuing the matter.
Emmanson had been accused of disrupting peace on board, assaulting a crew member, and engaging in conduct capable of causing public disorder — allegations she firmly denied.
Shortly after regaining her freedom, Emmanson took to Instagram to thank God, her friends, and supporters for standing by her during the ordeal. She revealed she is still in pain from her prison experience and will be seeking medical treatment before sharing her full side of the story.
She wrote:
“Thank you so much for all the prayers, love, and support. I’ve been released from prison, but I’m still in pains due to how I was treated. I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my own version of the event. Thank you so much my lovely friends and supporters. I really appreciate y’all from the bottom of my heart. God bless y’all. THANK YOU MY GREAT GOD!!!”
