An Ikeja Magistrate Court in Lagos State has discharged Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of assault and unruly behavior on an Ibom Air flight.
Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami discharged her on Wednesday after the police withdrew the five charges against her.
This development follows an announcement from the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, who said the decision was a result of consultations with stakeholders and was based on “the remorse shown by those involved.”

She tendered application to court for the withdrawal of the case, which was admitted by the court.
