On October 16, 2019, a dramatic scene unfolded at Diani Airstrip in Kwale, Kenya, involving media personality Tony Gachoka.

Gachoka, host of the popular Point Blank show on KTN, was attempting to board a Silverstone flight when he was stopped by airline employees due to his possession of alcoholic drinks and luggage, which contravened the airline's rules.

According to Msambweni OCPD Nehemiah Bitok, Gachoka became rowdy and hurled insults at airline staff and other travelers who tried to calm him down. He was subsequently arrested and will face arraignment in court on Thursday.
