Abuja, Nigeria – The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Afam Osigwe, has strongly condemned the treatment of a passenger, Comfort Emmanson, during an incident on an Ibom Air flight on August 10, 2025.
In a televised statement, Mr Osigwe described the passenger’s forcible removal, public stripping, and the subsequent filming of the incident as a “gross violation of her dignity and human rights.” He called the lifetime flight ban imposed on her by Ibom Air and the Airline Operators of Nigeria a “degrading treatment.”
The NBA President announced that the association is prepared to offer pro bono legal support to Ms. Emmanson. He also called for an impartial investigation into the matter, the immediate lifting of the flight ban, and sanctions against all those found responsible for the incident.
