Businessman Surprises Ibom Air’s Comfort Emmanson with iPhone 16 and Contract
Comfort Emmanson, the young woman who became the center of attention after her clash with airline staff on an Ibom Air flight, has received an unexpected turn of fortune. A Nigerian businessman, known as Oga Uby, has offered her a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max along with a four-year brand ambassador contract under his logistics company, Tubex Logistics.
The announcement drew reactions online, not only because of the high-end gadget but also because it symbolized support at a time when Comfort has been in the eye of controversy. Uby explained that the gift was to replace her lost phone and to give her a fresh start, while the contract would provide her with steady income and recognition as the face of his company.
Comfort’s story had earlier taken a dramatic turn when videos of her refusing to switch off her phone on a flight went viral. The situation escalated into a physical altercation with the crew, leading to her removal from the aircraft and a stint in detention. The case quickly divided public opinion, some condemned her actions while others felt she was unfairly treated.
The matter gained even more attention when Ibom Air slammed her with a lifetime ban, a decision that was later overturned after pressure from the Minister of Aviation and growing public sympathy. Her eventual release brought relief, but the saga left her in the spotlight as one of the most talked-about passengers in recent times.
Now, Oga Uby’s intervention has shifted the narrative. Social media users have praised the businessman for stepping in, with many describing his gesture as a reminder that a person’s lowest moment doesn’t have to define their future. Comfort herself expressed gratitude, calling the gesture more than she ever expected and thanking him for believing in her despite the backlash.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
