Court Discharges Emmanson Accused of Unruly Behaviour on Ibom Air Flight

An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday discharged Miss Comfort Emmason of charges relating to unruly behaviour and assaulting flight crew members aboard an Ibom Air aircraft travelling from Uyo to Lagos on Monday.

Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami struck out the five-count charge against Emmason after the police prosecution team applied to withdraw the case.

At the resumed hearing, prosecutor Oluwabunmi Adeitan informed the court of new developments that necessitated the withdrawal.

She presented a formal application for the case to be discontinued, which the court admitted and subsequently granted.

With the ruling, all charges against Emmason have been dropped, bringing the brief legal proceedings to an end.
