The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has formally appealed to the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to initiate a detailed investigation into an incident involving renowned musician King Wasiu Omogbolahan Olasunkanmi Adewale Ayinde Marshal, also known as K1 De Ultimate, and domestic carrier ValueJet.
The incident, which took place on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, is said to have disrupted standard airline operations and raised issues regarding passenger behavior and aviation safety protocols.
According to a statement by the NCAA, preliminary findings suggest that during ValueJet flight VK201, K1 De Ultimate may have engaged in conduct that breaches Nigeria’s civil aviation rules.
In its letter to the Attorney-General and Police Chief, the NCAA urged a full criminal inquiry and the commencement of legal proceedings as outlined in the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023 and other relevant laws.
The statement read in part …
“Furthermore, and in light of the growing concern, the Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, has also issued an advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), urging the immediate consideration and institution of a No-Fly List for K1 De Ultimate(on any commercial flight), pending the outcome of official investigations.
This advisory is in line with global aviation standards that prioritize the safety of passengers, crew, and airline operations.”
The NCAA, in its statement, reaffirmed its dedication to upholding the integrity of Nigeria’s aviation sector, emphasizing that all passengers, regardless of their status or public profile, are subject to the same rules of conduct and compliance within the country’s airspace.
