K1 De Ultimate faces Six-Month flight ban after Abuja Airport incident

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced plans to blacklist popular Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, also known as K1 De Ultimate, following an altercation with ValueJet airline officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

This was made known by Michael Achimugu, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at NCAA, during a press briefing held on Thursday.

“What I must assure the general public is that everybody involved in this will be brought to book,” Achimugu stated. “As we speak, the passenger is going to be blacklisted for the next six months flying in Nigeria.”

He emphasized that aviation regulations are global and designed for the protection of all passengers, adding, “There is nothing about the rules that is to antagonise any passenger.”

“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.”

Achimugu further revealed that the NCAA has officially written to the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to commence legal proceedings against the musician.

Responding to concerns about whether K1 De Ultimate’s perceived closeness to President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, would influence the case, Achimugu reassured that the NCAA remains committed to the rule of law and that no individual, regardless of status, is above due process.
