The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has formally written to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, to investigate and prosecute musician, Wasiu Ayinde, also called KWAM 1, for disrupting aviation service in Abuja.

It would be recalled that the musician on Tuesday, 5th August 2025, reportedly held up a flight after he was denied boarding.

This followed a disagreement over the content of a golden flask that the Ayinde insisted on taking aboard a ValueJet flight from Abuja to Lagos.

Officials insisted on knowing the contents of the flask, but KWAM1 insisted that they had no right to do so.

He reportedly stood in the way of the aircraft in a bid to prevent it from moving. The pilot, however, taxied away, forcing the musician to duck to avoid being hit by a wing of the aircraft.

KWAM 1 later issued a statement accusing the ValueJet pilot of lying about him. You can read that report here.

The pilot has also issued a statement to explain her side of the story. You can read that one here.

NCAA suspended the licence of the pilots involved in the dispute. After the Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo queried the regulatory body for not taking action against the other party in the dispute, the NCAA placed a six-month ban on KWAM 1.

It has now called on the AG and the IGP to bring the musician to book for violating the Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations.

The regulatory body called for a full criminal investigation and the initiation of appropriate prosecution in accordance with the relevant law of the country.

NCAA’s Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo has also issued an advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) to consider banning KWAM 1 from flying, pending the outcome of official investigations.

The body said this was all part of the need to prioritise the safety of passengers and crew in the aviation industry.

The NCAA said no one, regardless of their status, would be allowed to undermine the integrity of the nation’s aviation industry.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended the license of a private jet operator, Mattini Airline Services Limited.

This followed an incident where one of their aircraft overshot the runway at the Ibadan airport on Friday.

The Challenger CL 601 aircraft, registered as N580KR, departed from Abuja and was landing at Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan when the incident occurred at 11 a.m.

The aircraft had on board 10 persons, believed to be very important personalities (VIPs).

Firefighters and rescue officials from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria were promptly deployed to the scene.

In a statement on Saturday, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at NCAA, Michael Achimugu, said the license suspension takes immediate effect, pending the outcome of investigations into the incident.

He announced the NCAAA’s intention to conduct a thorough safety and economic audit of all private jet operations in Nigeria, emphasizing its dedication to upholding the highest standards in the aviation sector.

Achimugu stated that the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive investigation into the Ibadan Airport incident.

While the NSIB conducts the safety investigation, the NCAA has launched an economic inquiry into the aircraft’s operation, saying that the investigation focuses specifically on the terms and conditions of the PNCF as outlined in its documents.

“In the meantime, and in accordance with Sec 32 (4) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022, the NCAA has also suspended the PNCF of Mattini Airline Services Limited with immediate effect.

“The suspension, NCAA said, will subsist until a determination is made that the conditions of the PNCF have been adhered to.

“NCAA has further initiated a safety and economic audit of all private jet operations in Nigeria.

“NCAA, however, assured the travelling public of its utmost commitment to safety and the entrenchment of global best practices,” the statement read.
