We cannot allow impunity to reign or degenerate into a banana republic where someone can stop a plane with their bare hands and walk away without consequence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer criticised the handling of the two incidents, alleging inequality and favouritism in the treatment of both parties.<\/p>\n<p>He accused authorities of failing to arrest, arraign, or prosecute King Wasiu despite allegations against him, while Emmanson faced immediate sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a gross imbalance. There was no arrest, no arraignment, no prosecution of Mr. Kwam 1. In fact, he was rewarded with a brand ambassadorship for the aviation sector. What message does that send to the public?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the appointment of King Wasiu as a brand ambassador was inappropriate and undermined the integrity of the sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone can stop a plane with their bare hands and be appointed a brand ambassador, it sends the wrong signal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ademiluyi further alleged that Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, had acted in a manner unbecoming of his office, claiming he appeared to be speaking for one of the airlines involved rather than enforcing the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are asking for an order of mandamus to compel relevant authorities to take proper action against those involved, particularly Mr. Kwam 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about celebrity status or political connections \u2014 it\u2019s about the sanctity of the rule of law,\u201d he said. The lawyer also faulted the role of the Airline Operators of Nigeria in the Emmanson case, accusing the body of acting as \u201ccomplainant, prosecutor and judge\u201d when it initially imposed a life ban on her \u2014 a sanction later withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe central issue remains: Mr. Kwam 1 is walking the streets free. That is a big slap on the rule of law,\u201d he stressed. \u201cThe suit we have filed is a public interest action. The collective interest of the polity is at stake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the judiciary to use the case to set a precedent that no one, regardless of influence or status, is above the law<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ademiluyi, in the suit, filed at the Federal High Court, Lagos, asserted that the handling of two aviation offences involving popular musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal and Emmanson is a blatant violation of the rule of law.
