The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has announced that popular Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, also known as Kwam 1, will be blacklisted for six months over his conduct at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

This was disclosed Thursday by NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu on Thursday.

“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,” Achimugu said.

Achimugu further disclosed that the NCAA is in the process of contacting the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to initiate legal proceedings against Ayinde.

When asked whether the musician would be spared prosecution due to his relationship with President Bola Tinubu, Achimugu emphasized that both Tinubu and Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo are committed to upholding the rule of law, adding that no one is above due process, regardless of their status.

It was earlier reported that the NCAA suspended two ValueJet pilots over a safety violation at the airport’s domestic terminal.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the pilots initiated departure from the designated bay without obtaining the required pre-departure clearance, the authority said.

The NCAA described the action as reckless, stating that it endangered ground personnel and other airport users, in clear violation of civil aviation regulations and international safety standards.
