Following Naira Marley's show in Abuja Saturday June 13, FG shuts down the aviation company he flew in.
Naira Marley alongside Ex BbNaija reality star Kim Oprah flee a private jet from Lagos to Abuja for Naira Marley's Show which took place in Abuja, in the Silver bird entertainment plaza and sponsored by Glenfiddich and put together by Play Network Africa & Traffic bat in partnership with El'Carnival, The event centre has since been closed down.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who announced this at the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 today June 15, said the aviation company violated the Federal government's approval.
“In this challenging time, in our wisdom, we considered the judiciary to be part of the essential service to be delivered. Having to move the Hon. Justice from Lagos to Abuja was in order. The approval was given for the 14th of June, 2020, however, we do give them a leeway of 24 hours sometimes due to operational reasons.
They can operate the flight slightly earlier or slightly forward within 24 hours. In this case, the operator choose to fly on the 13th at about 6:00 pm. So, that itself is not a violation to operate earlier because we gave him the leeway.
The operator is Executive Jets Services and the approval was very clear and I will read part of it. This is the letter from the ministry of Aviation to the Chairman of the Executive Jets Services and it was signed by the Director of Air Transport Management on my behalf.”
“The operation is a clear violation of our approvals which we take seriously, it seems this is becoming a norm, it’s the second time.
Execujet services are hereby suspended indefinitely. We’ll also fine them maximally according to the law. The captain of the flight will be sanctioned for giving wrong information to the control tower''.
