A former Kogi governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Yakubu Muri Ajaka, has condemned the recent incident involving popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, also known as K1 De Ultimate, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
According to Ajaka, “such an attitude is an act of terrorism” that should not go unpunished.
This was contained in a statement he personally signed and released to journalists in Lokoja Friday.
Ajaka expressed dismay over reports that the artist refused to comply with aviation security protocols, confronted airport officials, and allegedly obstructed a commercial aircraft from taxiing.
“In any serious and sensible country, such behavior would be treated as an act of terrorism.
“The deliberate obstruction of an aircraft and interference with the duties of trained aviation personnel directly endangers the lives of passengers and crew, and undermines the integrity of Nigeria’s airspace security.
“Even in conflict-ridden nations such as Somalia, there has been no recorded instance of a public figure or civilian physically preventing a commercial aircraft from moving in this manner,” the statement read in part.
He warned that allowing the matter to go unpunished would set a dangerous precedent where celebrity status shields individuals from consequences while risking the lives of ordinary citizens.
Ajaka called on the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, and other relevant agencies to arrest, prosecute, and fully enforce the law against Ayinde.
