Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger at the centre of an alleged unruly conduct case, has broken her silence after regaining freedom from custody.
Posting on her Instagram handle @soft_commy, Emmanson thanked supporters for their prayers and concern, confirming her release from Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
She said she remained in pain over her treatment and would share her full account after rest and medical care.
Her release followed a ruling by the Ikeja Magistrate Court, Ogba, on Wednesday, which struck out the five-count charge against her. Presiding Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami dismissed the case after the police applied for its withdrawal.
The move came after a resolution led by Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), who cited consultations with aviation stakeholders, public appeals, and the remorse shown by parties involved. Ibom Air also formally withdrew its complaint as part of the settlement.
Emmanson was initially arraigned on Monday over the August 10 in-flight incident, granted ₦500,000 bail with two sureties, and remanded pending fulfilment of the conditions.
