The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has summoned a crew member of Ibom Air, identified as Emmanson, for questioning over a viral incident that has raised concerns about safety and professional conduct in the aviation sector.
The NCAA, Nigeria’s apex aviation regulatory body, confirmed that the decision to invite the staff was taken in line with its mandate to uphold safety and discipline within the country’s airspace. Although details of the incident remain under wraps, sources suggest that it may involve misconduct at an airport facility which drew public criticism and raised questions about passenger safety.
By summoning the crew member, the NCAA has signaled its determination to enforce strict adherence to safety regulations and hold airline staff accountable. Industry analysts argue that such actions are necessary to maintain Nigeria’s credibility in global aviation and assure passengers that their safety will never be compromised.
Ibom Air, one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing domestic carriers, has not issued an official statement on the matter, but insiders reveal that the airline is cooperating fully with the regulator’s probe.
