The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has said that the renowned Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, also known as K1 De Ultimate, will not be exempted from serving the six-month suspension imposed on him despite his close ties with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr.Festus Keyamo.
According to the NCAA, both the president and the minister are committed to upholding the rule of law.
Persecondnews had earlier reported that the NCAA banned the Fuji king from flying within Nigeria for six months over alleged misconduct at the domestic terminal of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, announced the ban on Thursday, August 7, at a media briefing.
“What I must assure the general public is that everybody involved in this will be brought to book. As we speak, the passenger is going to be blacklisted for the next six months flying in Nigeria, he said.
Achimugu said aviation rules are global and made for the safety of all, stressing that no individual would be exempt from accountability.
“So, we will do everything we can to get to the root of it. Everybody who needs to be punished or sanctioned will receive justice.”
He disclosed that the agency would write to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police to initiate legal proceedings against the musician.
On Tuesday, August 5, the musician was allegedly found with alcohol in his flask while onboard a ValueJet flight at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
