K1 De Ultimate Blacklisted by NCAA Over Abuja Airport Incident
Popular Fuji legend K1 De Ultimate, real name Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, has been blacklisted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) following a controversial incident at Abuja airport. The move comes amid an ongoing investigation into a security breach linked to the singer’s behavior during a boarding process.
According to NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, the investigation is still ongoing, but the initial findings have prompted the authority to take action pending further details. Achimugu disclosed this during a press briefing held in Abuja, confirming the seriousness of the situation.
The incident, which happened on Tuesday, involved Flight VK201 from Abuja to Lagos. Reports indicate that K1 De Ultimate attempted to board the plane carrying a gold flask containing an unknown substance. When airport ground staff asked to inspect the flask, the musician reportedly refused, sparking a heated exchange.
Eyewitnesses claim they saw the artist drinking from the flask, which led staff to suspect it contained alcohol—a substance prohibited aboard Nigerian flights. This suspicion led to the singer being denied boarding. The confrontation escalated, causing a disruption in airport operations and prompting the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to begin a formal probe into the matter.
As news of the altercation spread, it sparked discussions across social media, with fans and critics weighing in on the conduct of public figures and the enforcement of aviation rules.
The blacklisting of such a high-profile celebrity underscores the NCAA’s intent to uphold aviation safety and security protocols, regardless of status. Further updates are expected once the full investigation is completed.
Key takeaway: Public figures are expected to respect aviation laws, and violations—no matter the celebrity involved—can lead to serious consequences.
