Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger arraigned for allegedly assaulting a purser, has refuted claims that she filed a N500 billion lawsuit against the Federal Government and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

In an Instagram story, Emmanson described the viral report as false and misleading, stressing that she would personally inform the public if and when she takes such legal action.

“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,” she stated.

Emmanson had been accused of refusing to switch off her phone on a flight from Uyo to Lagos and physically attacking a purser.

Ibom Air subsequently pressed charges, and the Airline Operators of Nigeria imposed a lifetime ban, which was later lifted.

On August 13, after consultations led by Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, the police withdrew the charges.

The court approved the withdrawal and discharged the case.
