The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has summoned Ibom Air cabin crew member, Juliana Edward and the embattled passenger, Comfort Emmanson, for further investigations.

The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at NCAA, Michael Achimugu, disclosed this during a question and answer session at the Emergency National Civil Aviation Security Committee and Stakeholders Meeting held Tuesday, August 19, in Abuja.

Achimugu noted that he spoke with Emmanson earlier in the day, adding that the passenger and the crew member involved had been summoned for further enquiry.

“I have spoken with Ms. Emmanson this morning. We are also inviting the Ibom Air cabin crew for continued investigation on the incident. They will be here tomorrow,” he said.

He, however, clarified that the pilot did not call in security personnel upon landing in Lagos, as the issue seemed resolved during the flight.

However, Emmanson, who reportedly visited the restroom after landing, was the last to disembark from the aircraft.

Achimugu assured that NCAA remains committed to uncovering all the facts surrounding the incident.
