The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to prosecute Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, over his unruly behaviour at the Abuja airport on Tuesday.
NCAA spokesman Michael Achimugu said Ayinde’s attempt to block a moving ValueJet aircraft violated Nigeria’s civil aviation regulations.
In its letter to the AGF and the IGP, the NCAA called for a “comprehensive criminal investigation and the initiation of appropriate prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023 supra and all other applicable laws.”
Earlier on Thursday, the civil aviation regulator slammed a six-month ban on the singer, warning that any local or international airline that flies the singer risks its licence being withdrawn.
Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo condemned in strict words the unruly behaviour of the Fuji maestro, saying his act of blocking a moving aircraft by the singer was unacceptable and reprehensible.
NCAA had on Wednesday suspended two ValueJet pilots for unsafe behaviour at the airport during the incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Tuesday.
