The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has invited the Ibom Air passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, and the cabin crew member, Juliana Edward, over the August 10, 2025, incident on the Ibom Air Uyo to Lagos flight.
Director of Public Relations and Consumer Protection of the NCAA, Mr. Michael Achimugu, disclosed while responding to questions during his presentation at the Emergency National Civil Aviation Security Committee and Stakeholders Meeting, convened by the NCAA in Abuja.
The meeting was directed by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, as a fallout of recent cases of unruly conduct involving Emmanson and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM1) on a ValueJet flight.

The invitation of the duo is part of an ongoing investigation by the NCAA to ascertain what really transpired on the flight, which turned into a social media frenzy before the intervention of the federal government, which pardoned both passengers.
Following the exposure of Emmanson’s private parts in the trending video clips, there have been arguments and counterarguments over who was right or wrong between Ms. Emmanson and Juliana Edward, with some commentators accusing the cabin crew of unprofessional conduct.
Achimugu, however, on Tuesday said he had spoken with Emmanson and had invited her and the cabin crew for further investigation on the incident.
He explained that further investigation by the NCAA on the incident would shed more light on the incident as part of closing the chapter and the existing gaps in cabin crew and passengers’ relationship.
Achimugu also clarified that the pilot-in-command on touching down at the Lagos Airport did not immediately invite the security operatives because the issue seemed to have been settled in Uyo.
He explained that when the aircraft landed, Ms. Emmansoon visited the restroom, which made her the last to disembark from the aircraft on the said day.
But Achimugu assured that the NCAA would conduct further investigation on the issue with the aim of getting all the required details.
