Fuji music legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, wey people sabi as KWAM 1, don push back against tori wey dey fly about wetin happen for Abuja airport. Di Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) don start investigation to find out wetin really go down.
Dem talk say di wahala happen on Monday, August 5, 2025, when KWAM 1 wan board ValueJet flight (Flight VK 201) go Lagos. As dem dey board, KWAM 1 try carry one flask wey get liquid enter plane, even after security and di pilot warn am say e no dey allowed.
FAAN yarn say di liquid pass 100ml, and according to aviation law for Nigeria and international rules (ICAO Annex 17), you no fit carry liquid wey pass 100ml unless e be medicine wey dem declare. KWAM 1 no gree drop di flask.
Tension come rise when dem ask am to step aside for check, but e no gree. Na so e pour di liquid wey later turn out to be alcohol on top one security officer. Di pilot try settle matter but KWAM 1 still dey resist. When boarding don complete, di pilot close aircraft door.
Di matter come hot pass as KWAM 1 waka go front of di plane and no gree comot, even after airline people beg am well-well. Na AVSEC crime unit come carry am go for questioning, and later dem release am.
FAAN vex say di whole gbege cause serious wahala for airport operation. Dem talk say dem no go gree make anybody, no matter who e be, scatter aviation safety or break law. Dem still dey investigate di matter well-well and promise say anybody wey dem catch as guilty go face law.

Dem talk say, “People dey talk say KWAM 1 misbehave for airport on August 5, 2025, but na lie. Di liquid wey dem dey shout about na ordinary drinking water wey dem give am for lounge. E no do anything wey break law or endanger anybody. E even try explain but dem no gree hear am, na so di matter escalate for nothing.” Dem talk say KWAM 1 na big artiste wey sabi travel wella, both local and international, and e dey always follow aviation rules.
Dem even talk say if e really misbehave, people like Head of Airport Security, FAAN and NCAA officials, plus di oga of di airline no go reach out to am to beg, apologize, and even arrange private jet to carry am go Lagos free of charge. But KWAM 1 no gree use di jet, even after dem beg am plenty.
