K1 De Ultimate: Thorough Investigation Will Make Sure Justice Is Served – Police

The Nigeria Police Force has launched an investigation into Fuji musician, K1 De Ultimate, over his unruly behaviour that obstructed the safe operation of an aircraft at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The police recently revealed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had petitioned the police over the incident.

Speaking via a press statement, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said that Kwam 1’s action directly violated the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, 2023.

According to him, he has already directed the commissioner of police, airport command, to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances and ensure justice is served.

K1 has since been placed on a no-fly list across all Nigerian carriers for six months pending investigation.

Recall that Comfort, who boarded the Uyo to Lagos flight, had in a viral clip repeatedly slapped a Purser with Ibom Aircraft after she was allegedly told to switch off her smartphone before take-off.

The airline, via a press statement on Monday, banned the passenger from flying with its airline after she was found assaulting one of its crew members.

According to Ibom Air, the incident started before take-off from Uyo when Comfort failed to comply with safety procedures requiring passengers to turn off their mobile phones.

The airline stated that a fellow passenger seated beside her switched off the phone, an act that immediately sparked a heated verbal exchange.

Ibom Air said that as soon as the plane arrived Lin agos, Comfort confronted the purser who had earlier told her to switch off her phone, and physically assaulted her.

Stressing that the passenger even tried to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher to use as a weapon, Ibom Air described her action as a “clear intention to damage and ground the aircraft.”

Ibom Air concluded that her behaviour posed a serious threat to the safety of its crew, passengers, and aircraft.
