An Ikeja Magistrate Court in Ogba, Lagos State, on Wednesday discharged Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of unruly behaviour and assault aboard an Ibom Air flight.
Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami, struck out the case after the police withdrew the five-count charge earlier filed against her.
Earlier, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), announced the decision following consultations with key stakeholders in the aviation industry.
According to the minister, the resolutions were reached after reviewing the incidents, considering appeals from well-meaning individuals, and considering the remorse shown by those involved.
Keyamo revealed that Ibom Air has agreed to withdraw its complaint against Emmanson, who was arrested over the August 10 incident.
Emmanson was arraigned on Monday and granted bail in the sum of N500,000, with two sureties in like sum.
However, she was remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after failing to meet her bail conditions.
At the resumed hearing, prosecution counsel Oluwabunmi Adeitan informed the court of new developments that warranted the withdrawal of the case.
An application to the effect was submitted and admitted by the court.
