Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson, has debunked reports that she filed a ₦500 billion lawsuit against the Federal Government, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and other parties.
Naijaonpoint reports that the denial came on Saturday through a statement she shared on her Instagram story.
Emmanson explained that the circulating story was false, saying that she has not yet taken any legal steps on the matter.
The businesswoman added that when she decides to pursue such action, the public will be informed directly by her.
She also clarified that her lawyer is Adam Atakpa of Kipparise Attorneys and urged people to disregard the reports.
She wrote: “My attention has been drawn to a fake report claiming that I have filed a ₦500 billion lawsuit against the Federal Government, NCAA, and others. This information is false and misleading. I have not taken any such legal action yet.
“When I eventually do anything of such nature (which is imminent) I will personally update the public myself via my official page.
“For the avoidance of doubt my lawyer is Adam Atakpa of Kipparise Attorneys. I urge everyone to disregard this fake news and avoid being misled.”
Her clarification follows a lawsuit filed by public interest lawyer Ayodele Ademiluyi against the Federal Government.
The suit, filed at the Federal High Court in Lagos, seeks damages of ₦500 billion.
Those listed in the case include the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Ibom Air, ValueJet, and other stakeholders in the industry.
Ademiluyi, who brought the matter before the court, linked the lawsuit to recent aviation controversies involving airline passengers such as Emmanson and Fuji musician KWAM 1.
