Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has admitted that he approved the flight from Lagos to Abuja but not for the use of Naira Marley.
According to the Minister, in a short statement today, June 15, the flight was to convey a judge, Hon Justice Adefope Okoji on official duty in Abuja and to return him to Lagos the same day.
It was not immediately clear how Naira Marley cornered the flight with which he flew to Abuja for his concert, but the Minister has ordered the suspension of ExecJet services indefinitely for what is termed “false information.”
The Pilots of the plane are also facing sanction, even as the operators are likely to be heavily fined.
