Comfort Emmanson rejects viral claim of suing FG and NCAA

Says no legal action taken yet but hints it is imminent

Court earlier discharged case after charges were withdrawn
Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger arraigned for allegedly attacking a purser, has denied reports that she filed a N500 billion lawsuit against the Federal Government and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
In a post on her Instagram story, Emmanson described the report as false and misleading.
“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 wrote.
The incident occurred on an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, where Emmanson allegedly refused to switch off her cellphone during a safety announcement and was reported to have attacked a purser.

The airline subsequently filed charges against her, and the Airline Operators of Nigeria imposed a lifetime ban, which was later lifted.
On August 13, following consultations led by Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, the police withdrew all charges. The court approved the withdrawal and discharged the case.
