The passenger who allegedly assaulted airline officials on an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos has been arraigned in court.
The development was disclosed by Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo.
The passenger identified as Comfort Emmanson has been remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre pending further proceedings.
Recall that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) warned that it would intensify enforcement actions at Nigerian airports in response to the growing incidence of unruly passenger behaviour.
Days earlier, a similar incident occurred involving Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (popularly known as KWAM 1), who recently attempted to prevent a ValueJet aircraft from taking off after being deboarded.
Moshood Tweeted; “The more reason the flying public should be more careful, the unruly passenger on Uyo-Lagos bound Ibom Air, Miss Comfort Emmanson has been charged to court and she’s now cooling off in Kirikiri,”
