Veteran Fuji musician, K1 De Ultimate, on Tuesday, reportedly created a scene at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, when he allegedly physically jumped in front of a ValueJet aircraft in a bid to stop it from taking off after a brush with one of the aircraft attendants.
Sources revealed that K1, who was onboard the plane, was drinking from a flask when he was approached by the flight attendant who suspected that the content was alcohol, a substance prohibited onboard aircraft in Nigeria.
The attendant was said to have asked the iconic musician to surrender the flask, but K1 refused, saying it was medication prescribed by his doctor. Following his refusal to give up the flask, the flight crew deboarded him.
Consequently, an enraged K1 rushed to the front of the aircraft in an attempt to prevent it from taking off. The Fuji star was said to have been seen standing in front of the aircraft, with the ground personnel pleading with him.
However, the plane pilots forcefully took off while K1 and the personnel fled to avoid being hit by the wing of the plane.
Meanwhile, NCAA, today, announced the suspension of the flight pilots for breaching of aviation safety protocols by taking off and endangering the safety of ground personnel and other airport users.
Apart from the suspension of the pilots, the aviation authority is said to be considering putting K1 on a ‘no-fly list’, over his conduct.
A ‘no-fly list’ is a database of individuals prohibited from boarding commercial flights due to suspected links to terrorism or other security threats.
