In a letter on Monday, Sam Iwu, the company’s chief executive officer, apologised over the controversial incident that led to the company being suspended.
Naira Marley performed at the Jabi Lake Mall in Abuja at the weekend amid measures by Nigerian government to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Mr Iwu in his statement claimed that the flight was approved to convey a judge to Abuja, adding that the passenger had however found his way to Abuja with the via another flight.
He explained that the company later got an offer to convey another set of passengers to Abuja. The new development, he said, caused confusion as the name “Fashola Babatunde” appeared in the letter.
Mr Iwu claimed he thought it was the minister of works and housing but they turned out to be “a bunch of useless people”.
The letter reads in part: “Please the flight was to carry a Judge to Abuja on Sunday 14th, 2020 as requested and permit was granted based on the application, but unfortunately when I called the Judge on Saturday morning to inform him that we have the permit, he then said that he has reached Abuja already with a different flight that someone gave him a lift to Abuja.

“So on Saturday morning 13th June, 2020 my staff called me that they have a charter flight to Abuja and that the passengers are already in the lounge as a rule passenger manifest is always sent to me before any departure, when I went through the manifest and I saw FASHOLA BABATUNDE I thought it was the Honorable Minister of Works going to Abuja with his men, so we decided to do the flight since (he) is a serving minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I didn’t know that it was a bunch of useless people.”
The company apologised over the incident and vowed that it won’t make such mistakes again.
