On the other hand, if it was just a verbal "you will be placed in the next flight out, come back after x mins", then unfortunately you can't do anything!

The flight very well may have been overbooked, but once the flight was closed out for any further check in, they had no need for volunteers due to the no-shows for the flight. So yes he gets to remain on the flight he paid for and Emirates owes him absolutely nothing.
