The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has formally petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to initiate a full criminal investigation and possible prosecution of Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, over an incident involving ValueJet airline.
According to a statement signed by the NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, the alleged misconduct occurred on Tuesday, 5th August 2025, aboard ValueJet flight VK201.
The incident reportedly disrupted standard flight operations and potentially violated multiple provisions of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023.
“While full details of the incident are still being compiled,” the statement read, “the NCAA emphasizes the importance of upholding aviation safety standards and ensuring accountability, regardless of the parties involved.”
The authority stated that the musician’s actions on board might have constituted breaches serious enough to warrant legal consequences.
In a letter addressed to both the Attorney-General and the Inspector-General of Police, the NCAA called for a comprehensive criminal investigation and the initiation of appropriate prosecution.
In a related move, the Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, has issued a strong advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), urging them to consider placing K1 De Ultimate on a No-Fly List for all commercial flights, pending the conclusion of investigations.
“This advisory is in line with global aviation standards that prioritize the safety of passengers, crew, and airline operations,” the NCAA said.
“No individual, regardless of their status or public image, should be allowed to undermine the integrity of Nigeria’s aviation industry.”
The Authority stressed that all passengers must be held to the same standards of behaviour and compliance while aboard commercial flights within Nigerian airspace.
Achimugu concluded by assuring the public that further updates would be provided as investigations progress.
