AON Slams Lifetime No-Fly Ban on Ibom Air Passenger Over Violent Assault The Airline Operators of Nigeria has banned Comfort Emmanson for life after she allegedly assaulted Ibom Air crew on a Uyo–Lagos flight. AON says the attack — which included slapping staff, tearing a Purser’s wig, smashing glasses, and attempting to use a fire extinguisher as a weapon — is one of the most extreme cases of unruly passenger behaviour in 2025. She was arrested, arraigned, and remanded at Kirikiri Prison. #AON #IbomAir #NoFlyList #NigeriaAviation #AviationSafety #FlightBan #ZeroTolerance #FAAN

Aviation Expert Slams Double Standards in K1 the Ultimate Airport Incident President of the Aviation Safety Roundtable Initiative, Air Commodore Ademola Onitiju (Rtd), has questioned why Fuji music icon Wasiu Ayinde, aka K1 the Ultimate, was not treated with the same urgency and legal process as Miss Comfort Emmanson in a similar aviation security violation. Speaking on Arise TV, Onitiju said the disparity in handling the two cases raises serious concerns about equal enforcement of aviation rules. > “The rules should apply to everybody, regardless of gender or status. I really cannot fathom why the same thing done to Comfort Emmanson was not done to K1,” he stated. The aviation veteran recalled commending the swift legal action in Emmanson’s case, where she was promptly arraigned and remanded. However, in K1’s situation, he alleged glaring lapses — including the musician bypassing security checks with an oversized liquid container, far above the 100ml limit. Onitiju criticized aviation security officials for allegedly giving K1 special treatment due to his celebrity status, allowing him into restricted tarmac areas and even granting him direct access to the pilot in command — a move he described as a serious security breach. He insisted that proper protocol should have seen K1 immediately removed from the tarmac, restrained if necessary, as his presence posed a significant threat to civil aviation safety. #K1TheUltimate #AviationSafety #NoDoubleStandards #AirportSecurity #NigeriaAviation #EqualJustice #CivilAviation
