Nigerian Fuji music star, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1), popularly known as K1 De Ultimate is in hot soup over his conduct at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, where he caused a scene by attempting to obstruct an aircraft from taking off
Be that as it may, after placing the Fuji star on a no-fly list, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, requesting an investigation and prosecution of KWAM 1.
NCAA disclosed this in a statement on Thursday signed by Michael Achimugu, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection.
The statement reads in full; “The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has officially petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to launch a thorough investigation into the incident involving musician King Wasiu Omagbolahan Olasunkanmi Adewale Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, and domestic airline ValueJet.”
“The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, 5th August 2025, reportedly disrupted standard operational procedures and raised concerns over passenger conduct and airline safety protocols.”
“According to preliminary reports, during a scheduled ValueJet flight VK201, K1 De Ultimate was allegedly involved in actions that violate the Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations.”
“While full details of the incident are still being compiled, the NCAA has emphasized the importance of upholding aviation safety standards and ensuring accountability, regardless of the parties involved.”
“In a letter addressed to both the Attorney-General and the Inspector-General of Police, the NCAA called for a comprehensive criminal investigation and the initiation of appropriate prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023 supra and all other applicable laws.”
“Furthermore, and in light of the growing concern, the Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, has also issued an advisory to the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), urging the immediate consideration and institution of a No-Fly List for K1 De Ultimate (on any commercial flight), pending the outcome of official investigations.”
“This advisory is in line with global aviation standards that prioritize the safety of passengers, crew, and airline operations.”
“The NCAA reiterates its commitment to ensuring that no individual, regardless of their status or public image, undermines the integrity of our aviation industry as passengers are held to the same standards of behavior and compliance within Nigeria’s airspace.”
“Further updates will be provided as investigations progress.”
For those who don’t know, drama started on Tuesday when a viral video surfaced online, showing the legendary musician boarding a ValueJet flight from Abuja to Lagos. In the clip, K1 De Ultimate is seen approaching the aircraft while clutching a golden flask of unknown contents.
Tensions rose when ground staff requested to inspect the flask, reportedly as part of routine security protocol. However, they were firmly rebuffed by the musician, who allegedly refused to comply. Eyewitnesses claimed he was seen sipping from the flask, and staff suspected it contained alcohol a substance prohibited on Nigerian commercial flights.
The situation escalated quickly. After being denied boarding, K1 allegedly became confrontational, leading to a scene that disrupted flight operations and triggered a security breach investigation by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
The incident has since ignited a flurry of mixed reactions across social media, with many Nigerians divided some defending the Fuji legend, others condemning his actions.
