Shortly after the government shutdown Executive Jet Services for flying musician Naira Marley from Lagos to Abuja, the chairman of the airline apologized to the government and stated that they thought it was the minister of aviation, Babtunde Fashola, that they were transporting.

The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Executive Jet Services, Mr Sam Iwuajoku, in the apology letter to the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, claimed that they mistakenly flew the artiste and his crew to Abuja after his surname ‘Fashola’ tricked them into believing that it was the Minister of Works.

He said, “We hereby apologise for the above flight, with your permit ref: PMA/ATMD/0175/V/V/1268 dated 11th June, 2020.

Naira Marley has since posted couple of tweets debunking the claim by the airline that they don’t know who they carried on that day.
