The Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has come under fire from Nigerian artist Debo Adedayo, better known by his stage name Mr. Macaroni, for her response to Fuji musician Kwam1’s apology for an airport issue.
In response to the incident, Dabiri-Erewa reportedly acknowledged the apology, which Macaroni characterized as unacceptable and setting a risky precedent.
The creator of the sketch contended that her position implied that misconduct could be absolved with a straightforward explanation and no actual repercussions.
Those who humiliated her should be prosecuted, Macaroni insisted, drawing a comparison between the case and the quick detention of a woman engaged in a recent Ibom Air incident.
He claimed that the fact that the two cases were treated differently demonstrated that Nigeria’s legal system was not fair.

He insisted that those responsible for blocking the plane or posting the woman’s nudity online face legal consequences.
Furthermore, Macaroni urged Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labor, to take legal action and move beyond social media criticism.
While others were swiftly imprisoned for less serious offenses, he wondered why there seemed to be no penalty for blocking an airplane’s flight.
In his closing remarks, he accused the authorities of applying the law in an uneven manner, claiming that justice in Nigeria seemed to depend on the parties involved.
I just wanted to express that this is really disgusting, Ma,” he wrote. You are unworthy of being in a public position. This tweet of yours has created a very risky precedent. You have reassured Nigerians that it is acceptable to commit crimes and that you may apologize to avoid punishment.
