‘I’m in Pain,’ Ibom Air Passenger Laments After Release From Jail

The Ibom Air Passenger, Comfort Emmanson, who was arraigned at the Ikeja Magistrate Court, Ogba, over her unruly behavior at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, on Sunday, has revealed she was in pain.

The woman stated this in a post on Instagram shortly after she was released from the Kirikiri Medium Prison in the Apapa area of Lagos on Wednesday.

Emmanson promised to share her full account of events once she recovers fully.

The passenger was detained and later arraigned by the police for assaulting the airline’s crew members at the airport on Sunday.

She regained her freedom after the court struck out the five-count charge against her at the request of the police.

The police told the court that the airline and the complainant no longer wished to pursue the case.

Emmanson thanked her friends, public-spirited Nigerians, and God for standing by her.

She wrote: “Thank you so much for all the prayers, love, and support. I have been released from prison. But I’m still in pain due to how I was treated. I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my version of the event. I appreciate y’all from the bottom of my heart. God bless y’all. Thank you, my great God!!!”
