An Ibom Air passenger who was recently released from custody, Comfort Emmanson, has profoundly thanked God for the development.
She, however, said she was in pain and needed medical attention.
Comfort also thanked her supporters and described in a statement posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, Emmanson (#soft_commy).
She noted: “Thank you so much for the prayers, love and support. I’ve been released from the prison, but I’m still in pains due to how I was treated.
“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 lady maintained that she needed some rest and medical treatment before she could give out her side of the story.
The statement comes after a widely publicised dispute between Emmanson and the airline, which reportedly led to her arrest and detention.
While details of the original altercation remain a subject of debate, the passenger’s latest post focuses on the physical and emotional toll of her time in custody.

The airline has not yet issued a public response to Emmanson’s latest post, but earlier statements from Ibom Air confirmed a customer service incident had taken place and was being handled internally.
The airline’s management has previously maintained that the well-being of all passengers and staff is a top priority.
Emmanson’s post has garnered thousands of likes and comments, with supporters offering words of encouragement and demanding an official investigation into her treatment while in custody. The public now awaits her full account of the events that led to the dispute and her subsequent arrest.
