By Aishat Momoh. O.
Comfort Emmanson, an Ibom Air passenger recently released from custody, has expressed gratitude to her supporters while revealing she is still in pain from her alleged treatment during detention.
In a statement posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, Emmanson, known online as #soft\_commy, said she requires rest and medical care before she can share her full account of the incident that led to her arrest.
“Thank you so much for the prayers, love and support. I’ve been released from the prison, but I’m still in pains due to how I was treated. I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my own version of the event,” she wrote.
Her comments follow a widely publicised dispute with the airline, which reportedly resulted in her detention. While details of the altercation remain unclear, Emmanson’s latest post focuses on the physical and emotional toll of the ordeal.
Ibom Air has yet to respond publicly to her claims, though earlier statements confirmed that a customer service incident occurred and was being handled internally. The airline has previously stressed that the well-being of its passengers and staff remains a top priority.
Emmanson’s post has drawn thousands of reactions, with many supporters calling for an official investigation into her treatment in custody. The public now awaits her detailed account of the events that triggered the dispute.
