Following his clash with ValueJet officials, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says Wasiu Ayinde, the popular Fuji musician popularly known as Kwam 1, will be blacklisted for six months for his conduct at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The NCAA’s director of public affairs and consumer protection, Michael Achimugu, announced during a press briefing on Thursday, August 7.
“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. Aviation rules are made for everybody, for the protection of everybody. These rules are global. 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” he said.
He also disclosed that the NCAA is currently writing to the attorney-general of the federation and the inspector-general of police to initiate legal proceedings against Ayinde.
When asked if Kwam 1 would not be prosecuted due to his closeness to President Bola Tinubu, the director said Tinubu, as well as Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, are committed to the rule of law, and no individual irrespective of their status will face the law.
