Ibom Air Bans Passenger for Life After Violent Attack on Crew

Nigerian carrier Ibom Air has imposed a lifetime ban on a passenger who violently attacked cabin crew and airport security after a Uyo–Lagos flight on 10 August. The airline said the traveller, identified as Comfort Emmanson, ignored repeated instructions to switch off her phone before take-off. Upon arrival in Lagos, she stepped on the purser, tore off the attendant’s wig, slapped two crew members, and tried to remove a fire extinguisher to use as a weapon, according to the company’s statement. Video of the confrontation shows Emmanson lashing out at Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria personnel on the tarmac before she was restrained and handed to the Nigeria Police Force for investigation. Ibom Air reported the matter to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on behaviour that threatens the safety of passengers, crew or equipment. The NCAA said unruly conduct can attract severe sanctions under Nigerian regulations and reminded travellers that aviation security rules apply from boarding to disembarkation. The warning follows a separate 5 August incident in which Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde (KWAM1) was placed on a no-fly list after disrupting a ValueJet departure, underscoring regulators’ scrutiny of passenger behaviour.
