The event which was meant
to be a “drive-in concert”, was organized by Play Network Africa, Traffic Bar,
El’Carnival, and sponsored by Glenfiddich.
The Federal Government has
suspended the operations of the airline which conveyed musician, Naira Marley
and a former Big Brother Naija housemate, Kim Oprah, to Abuja.
This is coming 24 hours
after Naira Marley and Kim Oprah flew to Abuja and thrilled party-goers at the
Jabi Lake Mall, which was marred with intense criticism.
According to Minister of
Aviation, Hadi Sirika, on Monday during the daily briefing of the Presidential
Taskforce on Covid-19 disclosed that the flight which took the singer to Abuja
from Lagos was approved for a different purpose.
He said the flight was to
convey a judge from Lagos to Abuja and back on official assignment and that the
flight operator violated approval.
The minister said the
operations of the flight company have been suspended indefinitely and would
also be fined.
He added that the flight
captain will also be sanctioned for providing false information.
“Going forward we will
escalate the mechanisms we have in place, and we will be stricter in our
approvals (and enforcement),” he said.
