Controversial Ibom Air passenger, Ms Comfort Emmanson, who regained freedom hours ago from Kirikiri prison has told Nigerians to wait: “I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my own version of the event”.
In a post shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday, as captured by Vanguard, she said,
“Thank you so much for all the Prayers, Love, and support, I’ve been released from the Prison, but I’m still in pains due to how I was treated. I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my own version of the event.
“Thank you so much my Lovely Friends and Supporters. I really appreciate y’all from the button of my heart. God bless y’all. THANK YOU MY GREAT GOD!!!”
Her message came hours after an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ogba struck out the five-count charge against her, which alleged that she disrupted the peace aboard an Ibom Air flight, assaulted a crew member, and acted in a manner capable of breaching public order.
The charges were withdrawn after the complainant and the airline indicated they were no longer interested in pursuing the matter, prompting the presiding Magistrate, Olanrewaju Salami, to order her discharge.
