The Federal Government has ordered the withdrawal of the legal case against Ms. Comfort Emmanson, the passenger at the centre of a controversial incident aboard an Ibom Air flight.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, announced the directive on Tuesday, alongside a decision to appoint Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, as an Airport Security Ambassador following his involvement in the same aircraft-blocking incident.

Keyamo confirmed that KWAM 1’s no-fly ban has been reduced from a lifetime restriction to one month. The suspension of the two Ibom Air pilots involved has also been cut to one month.
