Ibom Air: Comfort Emmanson Debunks Report Of Suing FG, NCAA, Others For N500bn

Comfort Emmanson, the viral Ibom Air passenger, has refuted widespread reports that she has filed a lawsuit against the federal government of Nigeria, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and others.

GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that Emmanson, an Ibom Air passenger was forcefully removed from the airline’s aircraft on Sunday, August 10, 2025.

Our correspondent reported that a public interest lawyer, Ayodele Ademiluyi, on behalf of the passenger demanded N500 billion as damages and breach of law in the handling of two recent aviation sagas between Emmanson and Ibom Air and Fuji singer Ayinde Marshal and ValueJet.

The suit, filed under the number FHC/L/CS/1632/25, lists as respondents: the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN), NCAA, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Ibom Air, ValueJet, the Nigerian Correctional Service, King Wasiu Ayinde, the Nigerian Police Force, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, the state’s Attorney-General, and the Airline Operators of Nigeria.

Ademiluyi said the decision to take the legal route is aimed at ensuring accountability and the protection of public interest in the matter.

Decrying the level of systemic rot in the country, the lawyer said the different actions taken by the Federal Government, the airlines and security agencies are worrisome.

Calling for a total overhaul of the Nigerian aviation industry, Ademiluyi accused the FG of treating the Emmanson case with a sledgehammer while slapping the Fuji singer on the wrist.

But reacting to the suit via her Instagram page, Ms Emmanson said she has not filed any lawsuit against FG, Ibom Air nor NCAA.
