Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger at the centre of a recent publicised dispute with the airline, has broken her silence following her release from custody, revealing that she is still in pain and requires medical care.
In a post on her Instagram page on Wednesday, the social media user known as #soft_commy thanked her supporters for their prayers and encouragement, while noting that her condition had yet to improve.
“I’ve been released from prison, but I’m still in pains due to how I was treated,” she wrote. “I just need some rest and medical treatment before I give out my own version of the event. Thank you so much, my lovely friends and supporters. I really appreciate y’all from the bottom of my heart. God bless you all. Thank you, my great God!!!”
The statement comes in the wake of a heated incident between Emmanson and Ibom Air that allegedly led to her arrest and detention. While full details of the altercation remain unclear, her latest update focuses on the physical and emotional toll of her time in custody.
Ibom Air has not issued a public reaction to Emmanson’s latest comments. However, in earlier statements, the airline confirmed that a customer service incident had occurred and that it was being handled internally. Management also reiterated that “the well-being of passengers and staff remains a top priority.”
Since her post, Emmanson’s account has attracted thousands of likes and comments, with many supporters calling for an official investigation into her alleged mistreatment. The public is now waiting for her detailed account of the events that led to the altercation and her arrest.
