The Federal Government on Monday said it has suspended the operations of a private jet charter and aircraft maintenance firm, Executive Jet Services, for flouting COVID-19 regulations by flying Musician, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, to Abuja to attend a concert.
Hadi Sirika, the Minister of Aviation, made the disclosure at the Presidential Task Force briefing in Abuja.
According to the minister, the supposed aircraft which was supposed to be used to fly an Appeal Court Judge, Justice Adefope Okogie, from Lagos to Abuja, was inappropriately used for conveying Naira Marley.
He further stated that the Executive Jet Services has been suspended indefinitely and will not escape the arms of the law.
The minister equally assured that more stringent regulations will now be put in place to ensure that there are no loopholes in the aviation sector.
