The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced that renowned Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 de Ultimate, will be barred from flying within Nigeria for six months following alleged misconduct at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the NCAA, Michael Achimugu, disclosed this on Thursday during a press 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,” Achimugu stated.
He stressed that aviation regulations are globally recognized and designed for the safety of all passengers, noting that no individual is above the law.
“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 added.
Achimugu further revealed that the NCAA is writing to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police to initiate legal proceedings against the musician.
When questioned on whether Ayinde might be shielded from prosecution due to his close relationship with President Bola Tinubu, Achimugu dismissed the notion, insisting that both Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), are committed to upholding the rule of law.
