Nigerian Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, widely known as K1 de Ultimate, is facing disciplinary action from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) following an alleged episode of unruly behavior at the Abuja airport.
The NCAA has declared that the musician will be barred from flying domestically for six months as part of punitive action aimed at reinforcing compliance with airport rules and protocols.
The disclosure came from NCAA spokesperson Michael Achimugu during a media interaction held on Thursday.
“What I must assure the general public is that everybody involved in this will be brought to book,” he said. “As we speak, the passenger is going to be blacklisted for the next six months flying in Nigeria.”
He noted that aviation is governed by international protocols that apply uniformly, regardless of the identity of the passenger involved.
Achimugu assured that justice would be served in accordance with aviation rules, saying, “We will do everything we can to get to the root of it. Everybody who needs to be punished or sanctioned will receive justice.”
Furthermore, he revealed that the NCAA is taking steps to formally engage the Attorney General and Inspector General of Police for prosecution of the artist.
Amid speculation about possible interference due to K1’s relationship with President Bola Tinubu, Achimugu was emphatic in his response: “Both the President and the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, are aligned with our mission to uphold the law. Nobody is above it.”
