A passenger aboard an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos has been remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre after allegedly assaulting multiple airline crew members and attempting to attack airport security personnel.

The accused, identified as Comfort Emmanson, was arraigned before a Lagos court following a violent altercation that occurred during and after the flight. According to reports, the incident began when Emmanson refused to switch off her mobile phone before take-off, despite repeated safety instructions from the cabin crew.

Tensions escalated mid-flight and, upon arrival in Lagos, the situation turned physical. Emmanson allegedly attacked the flight’s purser—stepping on her, tearing off her wig and glasses, and repeatedly slapping her in front of other passengers. She then reportedly assaulted another crew member who attempted to intervene.

Witness accounts and official statements indicate that the accused tried to seize a fire extinguisher, apparently to use it as a weapon, before airport security intervened. However, she allegedly assaulted the security personnel as well, causing further disruption at the arrival gate.

Following the incident, Ibom Air issued a formal complaint to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and placed Emmanson on its no-fly list, effectively banning her from future travel on the airline. The NCAA has also condemned the act and reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on unruly passenger behavior, warning of stiffer penalties for those who compromise flight safety.

Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, confirmed the court’s ruling, saying the accused is now “cooling off in Kirikiri.”

The case has reignited discussions about passenger discipline, aviation safety, and the urgent need for stricter enforcement of Nigeria’s civil aviation regulations.

The young TikTok user who went viral for accusing Senator Ned Nwoko of allegedly asking him to kill Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has now issued a tearful apology, claiming the entire allegation was “just content.”

In the video, the young man—who identifies himself as “Liar of TikTok”—went on his knees begging the senator for forgiveness, insisting he never expected the situation to escalate.

According to him, the original full video wasn’t posted, and the edited clip circulating online has now put him in serious trouble.

He repeatedly begged: “Good morning sir, I am very, very sorry. Please forgive me. It was content. I didn’t know it would reach this level… I have nobody. No father, no mother. Please sir, I’m begging you with the God you serve. Forgive me.”

This comes hours after Senator Ned Nwoko announced he had instructed his lawyers to petition security agencies over ongoing cyber harassment and defamation targeted at him.

At this point, one thing is clear. The music icon seems to be calling for real support and those around him cannot afford to look away.

An advance team of Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, escaped unhurt after unidentified gunmen opened fire on their vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday, December 2, 2025, along the Umuowa–Ihite axis in Imo State.

The three-member team was en route to Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport, Owerri, when the attack occurred shortly before the airport junction.

In a statement electronically signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, the Abia Government clarified that Governor Otti’s main convoy was not involved in the incident and was nowhere near the location at the time.

“The convoy of His Excellency, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, was not attacked. No member of the advance team or any other person sustained injury, and no life was lost,” the statement stressed, urging the public to disregard rumours suggesting otherwise.

It was learned that Security agencies have been notified, and investigations are underway to identify and apprehend the assailants.

Meanwhile, a commercial bus plying along Owerri -Aba road towards the Ngor Okpala axis was attacked Monday and scores of passengers were feared kidnapped by yet-to-identify gunmen.
