A Nigerian domestic carrier Ibom Air has placed a travel restriction on Comfort Emmanson, for assaulting members of the airline’s Uyo–Lagos flight crew at the Lagos airport on Sunday.
The airline, in a statement on Monday said the unruly passenger won’t be permitted to fly on any of its aircraft from now on.
Viral videos showed Emmanson lashing slaps on one of the airline’s flight attendant, even as security officials tried to restrain her.
The airline said shortly before take-off from Uyo, Emmanson was instructed to switch off her mobile phone but She bluntly refused to comply until the Pilot-in-Command made an announcement, after which a fellow passenger seated beside her took the phone and switched it off.
Upon arrival in Lagos, Ms. Emmanson waited for all other passengers to disembark and then proceeded to confront the Purser who had earlier instructed her.
She walked up to the unsuspecting Purser, stepped on her, forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses and threw it to the floor, and used her footwear to assault her.
Meanwhile, the Airline Operators of Nigeria has imposed a no-fly life ban on a female passenger, Comfort Emmanson, who allegedly assaulted airline officials on an Ibom Air flight inbound Lagos from Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
