The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced that Fuji music icon, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, will be banned from flying within the country for six months following his alleged unruly behavior at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

This was confirmed on Thursday by Michael Achimugu, NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, during a press briefing.

“What I must assure the general public is that everybody involved in this will be brought to book,” Achimugu said.

“As we speak, the passenger is going to be blacklisted for the next six months flying in Nigeria.”

He stressed that aviation safety rules are enforced globally and must be respected by all passengers, regardless of their status.

“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 added.

Achimugu also revealed that the Authority has written to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police, seeking legal action against the veteran singer.

When asked whether Ayinde’s close relationship with President Bola Tinubu might influence the process, Achimugu dismissed the suggestion. He noted that both President Tinubu and Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo are committed to justice and due process.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ordered K1’s name to be placed on a no-fly list while investigations continue.

Keyamo, in a post on his official X account on Thursday, said he had reviewed incident reports and video recordings submitted by relevant agencies and concluded that both the artist and airline crew were at fault.

“I have received reports from all the relevant Aviation agencies regarding the altercation between the staff and crew of ValueJet and Kwam 1 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday, August 7, 2025. I have also received video footage of the incident,” the minister wrote.

“From all the details so far received, my preliminary impression is that it was obviously a case of temporary loss of sanity and control on both sides, which could have led to serious fatalities.”

Keyamo described K1’s conduct as dangerous, saying it posed a serious threat to safety and could not be ignored.

“Contrary to what the agents of Kwam 1 has said, he CONSTANTLY moved his position on the tarmac to ACTUALLY BLOCK the aircraft from taxiing to take position on the runway for take-off. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE behaviour. The issue of whether he was carrying water or alcohol is not even in issue at this point,” he wrote.

“It is the physical blockage of the aircraft from taxiing that is the reprehensible conduct here which is akin to a hostage situation.”

He questioned why only the pilot and captain were initially sanctioned, stressing that everyone involved should be treated equally.

“What applies to the goose must also apply to the gander,” Keyamo added.

“In the circumstance, I have also directed the NCAA to place KWAM 1 on a no-fly list pending further and full investigation, just like the captain and pilot.”

“All airlines, both domestic and international should immediately be informed of this directive and anyone who flouts this directive risk withdrawal of their operating licence,” he concluded.

Investigations into the incident are still ongoing as aviation authorities move to determine the full scope of the events.
