Naira Marley was in Abuja over the weekend to perform in a ‘Drive-in’ concert amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The party was hosted by Kim Oprah of BBNaija.
This caused a lot of outrage on social media with Nigerians wondering how Naira Marley flew from Lagos to Abuja and even performed a concert without any attempt to stop the event.
The Ministry of Aviation has suspended operations of the ExecuJet indefinitely for providing false information to convey Naira Marley to Abuja for a concert. The flight was initially approved to convey a service Justice from Lagos to Abuja, Aviation Minister @hadisirika has said.
