Imposing Indefinite Flight Ban On a Nigerian Citizen Without a Valid Law Is Unlawful - Lawyer Tells Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo

 

A Nigerian jurist, Charles Omole has lashed out at the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Management, Festus Keyamo.

 

This comes after the accused Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson was placed on an indefinite flight ban both local and international by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

 

In a post on X, Omole argued that neither an airline nor the Ministry of Aviation can lawfully impose an indefinite flight ban on a Nigerian citizen without a valid law and due process.

 

He added that the indefinite flight ban on Ms Emmanson could be seen as a breach of her constitutional rights and could be challenged in court.
