Comfort Emmanson to Be Released as Charges Dropped — KWAM 1 and ValueJet Crew Also Granted Relief.

The Nigerian world.

The news as it trends.

Comfort Emmanson, widely known on social media as the “Kungfu Mistress,” is set to be released from the Kiri Kiri Correctional Facility following a dramatic turn in the Lagos airport saga.

The Federal Government has directed the withdrawal of all criminal charges against her, with the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, playing pivotal roles in the decision.

Emmanson was detained after a controversial incident aboard an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, where she allegedly slapped a flight attendant and assaulted another crew member.

The airline claimed her actions endangered the safety of passengers and crew.

However, many activists rallied behind her, arguing she was provoked when her movement was obstructed while she pleaded to be allowed to leave.

Following consultations with aviation stakeholders, Keyamo instructed Ibom Air to drop its complaint and asked the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to reduce her flight ban to one month.

He emphasized that the decisions were made on compassionate grounds, noting that valuable lessons had been learned by all parties involved.

Her release has sparked mixed reactions online, with growing calls for reforms in passenger handling and airline accountability.

As Emmanson prepares to reunite with her family, the public eagerly awaits her personal account of the events.

In a related development, Fuji music icon KWAM 1 has also had his flight ban reduced to one month.

The decision reflects a broader effort to resolve recent high-profile disputes in the aviation sector and signals a more balanced and compassionate approach by the government.

Additionally, Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET, who were affected by disciplinary actions, will have their licenses reinstated after serving a one-month suspension.

They are required to undergo mandatory professional reappraisal before returning to duty.

These decisions mark a significant shift in how aviation-related incidents are handled, with the government emphasizing fairness, compassion, and the importance of safety and accountability.
