The Federal Government on Monday suspended an airline for conveying Naira Marley to Abuja for a concert.

Minister for aviation, Hadi Sirika, who made this known during the daily COVID19 briefing said that the flight was approved for a different purpose.

Sirika said that the flight was initially approved to convey a serving Justice from Lagos to Abuja adding that the company has been suspended indefinitely for providing false information to convey the singer to Abuja for the show.

The Minister also said that the flight captain will equally be sanctioned for providing false information.

This development was triggered by the Naira Marley’s ‘Drive-in’ concert which was held on Saturday night at Jabi Lake Mall.

In a viral video, the attendees came out from their various cars and were clustered while Naira Marley performed, despite an increase in coronavirus cases.
