The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has formally petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to initiate a thorough investigation and possible prosecution of Fuji music icon, King Wasiu Omogbolahan Olasunkanmi Adewale Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, over an incident involving ValueJet airline.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, allegedly disrupted standard aviation procedures aboard ValueJet flight VK201 and has raised significant concerns regarding passenger conduct and airline safety regulations.
This was contained in a statement signed by Michael Achimugu
Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NCAA
According to preliminary findings, K1 De Ultimate was reportedly involved in actions that may constitute a violation of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs 2023). While full details are still emerging, the NCAA stressed the need for accountability and adherence to safety protocols, regardless of the status or public image of individuals involved.
In a petition addressed to the AGF and IGP, the NCAA requested a comprehensive criminal investigation and appropriate prosecution, citing the need to enforce aviation laws and deter future violations.
As a precautionary measure, the Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, has also issued an advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), recommending the temporary placement of K1 De Ultimate on a No-Fly List pending the conclusion of official investigations.
“This advisory is consistent with global aviation safety standards which prioritize the protection of passengers, crew, and flight operations,” the NCAA noted.
The agency reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on any act capable of undermining the integrity of Nigeria’s aviation system, stating that all passengers are expected to comply fully with established regulations.
Further updates will be made available as the investigation progresses.
