The unruly behavior of Fuji maestro Wasiu Ayinde, known as K 1 de Ultimate, has been harshly condemned by Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo in a letter.
Keyamo criticized the singer for blocking a moving aircraft as repulsive and against the law.
The singer was blacklisted for six months on Thursday for blocking a ValueJet aircraft from taxiing on the runway of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Tuesday when the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) wielded its big stick.
Any local or international airline that flies the singer could lose its license, according to the minister.
Ayinde was slapped with the sanctions in response to Keyamo’s warning that the singer, who behaved disorderly, is not above the law.
Remember that two ValueJet pilots were suspended on Wednesday by the NCAA for unruly behavior at the airport.
While Ayinde was clearly visible in viral videos and a clip shared on X by the minister blocking the aircraft, the pilots had taxied the aircraft.
Ayinde was denied entry to the Lagos-bound flight because he had a flask full of alcohol in his hands, according to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). In a alleged outburst, he was imprisoned for allegedly inflicting a compulsion on an aviation staffer.
Keyamo claimed that the NCAA was correct to suspend the two erring pilots in a post on X, but he also criticized the one-sidedness of the decision, insisting that the unruly passenger also be dealt with.
Keyamo asserted that, contrary to what Kwam 1’s agents have claimed, he consistently moved his position on the tarmac to allow the aircraft to take a position on the runway for take-off. This behavior is completely unacceptable.
At this point, it’s not even an issue whether he was carrying water or alcohol. The reprobable behavior is reprehensible, similar to a hostage situation, because the aircraft is physically preventing taxiing.
