ExecuJet’s aircraft had conveyed Marley on Saturday to perform at a concert in Abuja despite a ban on interstate travel and for violating social distancing rules aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.
While the company will be fined, the Flight Captain will also be sanctioned for providing false information.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika said the airline used approval granted for a legal flight operation to convey Naira Marley to Abuja for an illegal concert.
