Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger recently freed from custody following a widely publicised dispute with the airline, says she is still in pain from her ordeal.
In a statement posted on Instagram on Wednesday, Emmanson, known online as soft_commy thanked her supporters but said she needs medical treatment before sharing her full account of the incident. “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.”
The circumstances surrounding her arrest remain the subject of public debate. Ibom Air, in earlier statements, confirmed a “customer service incident” had occurred and said it was handling the matter internally, reiterating its commitment to the welfare of passengers and staff.
Emmanson’s post has attracted thousands of reactions, with many calling for an investigation into her treatment in custody. Her full version of events is expected once she recovers.
